Default Ugh!

So, I replaced my filler neck all the way from the fill cap to the filler hose into the tank and was all proud of myself............Um.....today I have a brake line leak.......Hoping it's a fairly easy fix because I have NO money till Thursday....This week's paycheck is already spent. FML!

apparently a novice chick shouldn't do their own repairs.

Welcome to the wonderful world of working vehicles in the Rust Belt! Stick with it. Replacing a brake line isn't the most difficult think in the world, but it can be troublesome when working with an older vehicle in NYS!

Default Bleed the brakes

Hey joan just did my brakes on my 2000 blazer, just a helpful note if you need the hoses you need to know the 11th position of you vin (k or 2) even knowing this i got the wrong hoses twice mine was a 2 with k coded hoses. To put it short bring the hoses with you. YOU WILL NEED TOO BLEED YOUR BRAKES!!! very very important!!!!!

Bringing the hose is good advice. I had the same situation, "k" hoses on a "2" Jimmy.
