While checking brake noise on my Caprice wagon discovered the caliper was dragging. No biggie just rebuild them.
Call to NAPA ~$9 for required parts.
So last weekend took it apart, cleaned/rebuilt/tested calipers.
Installed them, bled system, easy easy...wow I actually completed a task.
Test drive was uneventful and brakes worked fine.
So started to clean up my tools an realized I did NOT use brake fluid.
To my horror I had somehow grabbed the wrong bottle.
Exact same shape/size/similar labels...but still SERIOUSLY?
I have been working on cars for ~35yrs and just in disbelief that I did something so freakin STUPID!
So now I get to freakin flush & replace everything.
Just so disgusted and mad @ myself!
