Hey all,
So a few weeks back I took my Jeep to the auto hobby shop here on Camp Pendleton and did the front brake pads. One of the "techs" there helped me bleed the brakes and was doing the bleeder screws while I operated the pedal.
The last few weeks I've noticed the brakes are very spongy so today I was going to rebleed them. Well, when I tried to loosen the bleeder screws they were so tight on the rear that the passenger side stripped completely, and the driver side sheared off completely.
Im supposed to go on a 3100 mile road trip tomorrow and all my tools are packed up and on their way to Japan.
All because I trusted some stupid kid to help me with my Jeep.
So, now I get to find a brake shop that will replace the bleeder screws on the rear and bleed the brakes for me before tomorrow.
any other advice?
