This weekend I did a small bit of car maintenance (because it didn't rain for once!) - among other things, I bled the brakes because I didn't know for sure when they were last done. The color wasn't too bad, not fresh clean/clear but I've seen much much worse.
Rears required taking the tires/wheels off to get access, bummer. Fronts you can do by just reaching in between the wheel spokes. Hardest part was getting my assistant into the car, they aren't used to the low entry
Surprising how much I can notice improvement in the brakes, I wonder if perhaps there was some air in one of the lines.
While the pass. side rear wheel was off, I found yet another lose bolt for holding down the PEM (from it's replacement last June I believe). That's 2 bolts and a ground not re-connected/installed by the SC that replaced that PEM. Disappointing, hoping that's the worst I'll ever find.. I guess it pays to look after your own car now and again.
