[Blacky]

The other day I removed the right front caliper because it was sticking and over heating. I extended the pistons and pressed them back in a few times and lubed the pins and pad mounts and got it working again. When I put the wheel back on and gave it a twist I discovered a very badly worn ball joint. $178 CAD over $200 with tax up here. I ordered one for $65 USD and will pick it up next trip to Ogdensburg, NY.
I also found a small hole in the right exhaust manifold which can likely be welded. I replaced the left one 2 years ago.
Next I smelled fuel and found that a 10 year old section of rubber fuel line had let go. It's one that goes up and over the gas tank. What a pain in the butt to fish a new one through but I got it done.
I jinxed things last week by saying " I haven't spent any money on repairs this year on the SVX".
298,000 KM and going strong!
