Loc-Tite Is Your Friend

[Pathmaster95]

I replaced my ball joints a few months ago. I didn't have any loc-tite, and with the Pathy tore down, no way to go get some. I figured I would get some later and fix things up then. I forgot til yesterday.

2 new ball joints, 1 new brake line, and 4 hours in the dark fighting mosquitos later, it was good as new. My ABS and brake light are still on though. I bled the brakes but they haven't gone off. When I unplug the wires from the master cylinder they go out but come back on when I plug it back up. Do I still have air in the lines or do I need to do something else? Oh yeah, I used loc-tite when I reassembled everything.

 

 

 

I just realized these are the first pics of my pathy have put on NPORA. It's a shame that it was broken. I will have to get some more and get them added to member pics.

Aww, damn!! That looks like a major pain, not to mention a rude suprise!!

 

I hear you with the loctite, I have it everywhere. As a matter of fact, I just picked some of this up to keep in the tool bag and for convenient application...

The warning lights might go away if you reset the ECU. Disconnecting the battery for about 30sec will do it.
