[Absolut Speed]

I had the coil-overs put in Friday. I put new pads and rotors in over the weekend. Scheduled an alignment and brake flush for today.

Just got a call that the car is too low to get on the alignment rack or even on the hoist to do the brake bleed. I asked how much clearance they were short, explained the coil overs, but the service advisor told me the owner said to park the car and not touch it.

So I start calling around in my smaller city and am having no luck finding someone who can get a car with a lowered stance. GM dealer says he has a hard time with stock vehicles with running boards, so he can't help. Big tire chain says they can't do the brale bleed, and they want $89.99 for a custom alignment.

Just go to the track and bleed them that morning. It only takes a few minutes and I'm sure some other people there will be glad to help you out. All the OT days I've been to people have been glad to help out with things like this.

Anyway, all you need is a wrench that fits the bleed screw, a vacuum hose that will go over the nipple, a jug to catch the used brake fluid in (gallon milk jug?), jack, and lug wrench. Bring along your 2 cans of ATE Blue and ask for help when you get there if you don't have time to fool with it at home.
