$8 at WW. It was easy to put on. I cleaned, polished and greased the assembly before installation. Smooth as butter now. There is a bushing inside the brake arm similar to what you would find in a throw out bearing arm set up in the transmission.

Plumbed the rear brakes and filled the RGBs and tranny.
I'm going to pressure blead the brakes next. Then the brakes are done!

Not much new to report. Brakes need more bleeding. I can't get them to pump up. I am having to double check all the fittings. I had 1 wheel cylinder leaking. Quick hone and polish fixed that. Odd issue. Seal looked awesome, but the casting seemed to have a funny spot on it from maybe sitting on the shelf too long. All the other ones looked good.

I'm also having an issue with the rear axle seals not sealing. I got the passenger side fixed, but the drivers side is seeping. I think its a gasket issue and should have it fixed this weekend. The biggest hassle is having to remove the tire and drum to inspect. I have to deflate the tire completely in order to remove it. 215-75-15. Then reverse the procedure to re-torque the drum to make sure the o-ring seal won't leak.

I have finally ordered the front and rear safari windows, Bilstein shocks, WW cabin rubber floor mat, Round mirrors and clamps, Harp Mirror arms, WW door/window rebuild kit/seals and amber fog lamps. I'm sure it will only take me another year just to get the mat installed! :hillbilly:

So damn close to driving this beast!
