Safety wired the bolts and check the installation. Pushed the aircraft and the brake stopped it. Held the brake and tried to push it aircraft. It wouldn't budge. Very good. Pulled it out of the hanger, started it up, let it warm properly and taxi tes

More retraction tests. Closer, but still won't quite go into up lock. Maybe 1/4" (0.635 cm) from engaging. Back under for a couple more hours before I finally see where the blue from the fitting is rubbing on the side of the tunnel where the seat

Button the cowl and tidy things up. Looked out the door (West) and the weather was calm, not many 150's in the pattern. Looks like a great time to go and try it out. Filthy from the elbows to the finger tips so I have to hit the WC and clean myself bef

Realizing that I'd need to do any remaining work at home, I removed the disk brake, gathered up the bits and headed for the shop. This is just a pic of the BSPT threaded hole in the disk brake. Had to clean it out as it was full of crap. Testing showed

The final result. The banjo hose end bolts nicely to the brake. With any luck, I'll take the brake back to the airport after work tomorrow and reinstall it all and see if I can bleed the brakes.

Went home and pulled a brake caliper off my Little Toot project. Brought it out to the hanger and the darn thing fits. So I have ordered a single puck version of the same brake caliper. When it arrives, it will go on and I'll replace the banjo hose end

2010 06 06 - Made up an adaptor that fits the bleed and doesn't leak. Began to run fluid into the system. Went up to the master cylinder/reservoir to check on progress. Was I getting bubbles through the bit of fluid it put in back on the 3rd?

Here's a look at the tubing end of the two fittings. Again, similar, but not the same. Can't use the original fitting with the new tubing.

Put a bit of fluid in the reservoir and observe bubbles. Air is being pushed out and replaced by fluid. That's good. Watched this for almost an hour till the bubbles stopped and the reservoir began to fill. Shut the bleed contraption, stuff the line b
