02:53 rue_house that was a sleep
05:28 rue_house damn, cat keeps pulling the cone off in the kitty litter box
05:28 rue_house but he cant fit in there with the cone on
05:28 rue_house and he's going back and forth between the bed and the litter box
05:29 rue_house and I just lost the damn strap for it
05:29 rue_house I cant follow him around all night putting a cone on and off
08:26 Tom_itx if you ate the ice cream and left me the cone i'd be pissed too
08:37 Tom_itx i don't get the issue with your brakes unless the caliper piston hung
11:21 rue_house I'v never been into the brakes, so I'm not sure
11:22 Tom_itx there may be some sort of equalizing valve but that's from front to rear, not side to side
11:22 rue_house they changed the master cyl, new front pads, and redid the rotors
11:23 rue_house I'm hoping the rotors didn't warp cause of this
11:23 Tom_itx was the master cyl bad?
11:23 Tom_itx i've rebuilt many of those
11:23 rue_house apparently
11:23 Tom_itx the rotor is toast sir
11:23 rue_house what goes in them?
11:23 Tom_itx a mc kit
11:23 rue_house figures
11:23 Tom_itx don't try to reuse it
11:23 Tom_itx make them pay for it
11:23 rue_house what are symptoms of the bad mc?
11:23 Tom_itx they're not that much
11:23 Tom_itx it leaks
11:24 Tom_itx beyond that they're ok
11:24 rue_house like oil out the side leaks?
11:24 Tom_itx if it leaks into the power boost you can see it
11:24 Tom_itx no, just ^^
11:24 Tom_itx if it has power boost
11:24 Tom_itx which it probably does
11:24 rue_house it would expalin why I had to top it up so much
11:24 Tom_itx loss of fluid is another reason
11:25 Tom_itx the level goes down as the pads wear but when you replace the pads it goes right back up
11:25 rue_house yep, I dont know if the oil all over the driver side wheel well is from before or from them working on it
11:26 Tom_itx it will remove the paint too
11:26 Tom_itx wash it off
11:26 rue_house yea, did that on my lathe
11:28 Tom_itx i wonder if they fixed the MC right
11:28 Tom_itx could explain why the wheel locked up
11:28 rue_house its a group I generally regard as knowledgable
11:28 Tom_itx are they idiots or do they know their stuff?
11:28 rue_house they took it for a test spin, and didn't notice anything
11:29 Tom_itx the caliper piston usually doesn't hang
11:29 Tom_itx it's SS
11:29 rue_house it didn't completely lock, it was going between what felt ok and pulling
11:30 rue_house I stopped after a bit and checked it, the disk is black and it was smoking and pretty hot, let it cool for 20 mins and limped home
11:30 rue_house (no phone, shop closed)
11:30 rue_house I was worried caue they had to extend their day to finish it
11:31 rue_house last job of the day like that usually isn't good
11:31 rue_house esp it was a friday
