Subject:      brake shoes cont..... 7mm wrench
Comments: To: paradigm@MC.NET

Lee Roesner, Northbrook Office, wrote ........ going out tomorrow to buy fluid and a 7mm wrench (right one I hope?) and bleed brakes.

Lee, The typical 7mm box wrench will be lots easier to use if you take it someplace where they have an acetylene torch. You want to bend a deep offset....... mine is about 2" at say 60°. Heat it cherry red just past the box end, bend; then repeat ~2" along, bending in the opposite direction. Plays hell with the chrome; saves your knuckles.....
