This week I head to the other end of the exhaust and get to work on repairing the dented headers.

Hilarious that you guys are all bundled up when it's 106 outside right now.

Well I have been away in the US for the past few weeks, and while I was there I dropped back in to Performance Developments so I could bring home some bits and also give you all an update on what is going on with the engine.

This week I have finally made an attempt to clean up the garage. I also make a DIY 'Ultrasonic'ish' parts cleaner, and I start tackling the oil lines.

This week I spent most of my time trying to remove the brakes. What a headache. The dust cover for the front wheel bearings is a real pig, but I found a great way to get them off.

Jeff, why didn't you pick up a bunch of the oil line brackets while you were here last? I've got a few I'd have been happy to contribute and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Don't be afraid to ask for this kind of thing.

That would actually require me to think ahead, and that is not one of my strong points

Just tell yourself that if you think ahead that you can see the future.

This week I got to work on making my new hard brake lines, with mixed results.

This week I show you one of the worst ways to remove a stuck fitting in a brake caliper, and then I rebuild the brakes.
