........just driving down the road.

Drivers side front tire covered in brake fluid. I wonder what this could be, going out to investigate now.

wow mutt, sorry your having more trouble with it. If I had to guess Id say a brake line was hurt while you were working on it? Nothing much else it could be in that area. I hurt one of my solid rear brake lines, Im just waiting for it to blow out driving down the road. I ask advance if they sell pre-bent(they dont) and I was going to just keep it in the jeep with some brake fluid that way when it did blow out I could fix it beside the road. I was drilling a hole and my chuck on my drill was hitting it, id say it went about half way through it before I saw it. I shot it with some paint so it wouldnt rust and i guess itll be fine. I pushed the brakes as hard as I could and it held.

Good luck getting it fixed. Maybe this is something telling me to go ahead and replace mine? Hope you didnt almost hit anyone. :shock:

Strangest thing, banjo bolt that holds the brake line onto the caliper was loose.

Done, except for bleeding the brakes. Got to go get some more brake fluid.

I drove home gently and using liberal use of parking brake.
