What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

I guess you could also use some flat plastic tools like bondo spatulas, insert one between the trim and glass or just hold it to the edge of the trim. Kind of like when you’re painting and use a trim tool instead of tape.

That would work too. Thanks Mark!

I just use 1/4 of a small microfiber cloth folded carefully into quarters again so it’s super small and use the folded edge at the edge of the plastic so I can cut a fine line next to the glass or paint and I put a small amount on the rag at a time.

Gonna call it for the night. Skeeters are coming out. In good shape for the morning, I think.

Nah...i haven't even taken a flare to the existing rust knots....i mean, fittings, yet. I hit them good with aerokroil earlier. They will be ready in the morning. I need to sit down, anyways. Lol.

Fill them calipers and flex lines with fluid before you hook 'em up!

What's the benefit? Even if there's a tiny bubble where it connects, you're going to have to push it all out when you bleed anyways, right?

In my case, I'm doing my best to flush to "clean" fluid. I pulled more than a quart out of the rears.

Just one?

Yes , the parts store only had one in stock. Do have another one on order.

It just makes bleeding much faster and easier. Them tiny bubbles are much easier to get out than the entire volume of the caliper and hose. When you do one side, fluid will start to flow into it and fill it up while you do the other side. Fluid goes down, air goes up. Yeah, you could just leave the bleeder screw loose or out and periodically check on it if it takes you a while to do the other side. Personally, I'd rather just not get the air in there in the first place.
