Great post. I agree with you. I have seen some posts in recent months
related to people that have air in the brake lines. It causes all sorts of
problems. While changing a master cylinder-if you don't follow the proper
procedures--you can end up with air in the brake lines. It reminds me of
an old poster I seen in a garage owned by a mechanic. It said PAY ME A
LITTLE NOW OR A LOT LATER. It's a variation of PAY ME NOW OR PAY ME LATER.
