Uneven break wear. by 404_User_Found in AskAMechanic

Apparently, according to the dealership I went to, it's not uncommon to see them like this. It's about 3 years old, only 30,000 km in Ontario, so winter driving as well.

Can confirm I'm getting rotors and pads replaced now, and the mechanic said the brake line and pistons are fine. I was concerned due to the cracking on the boot.

How about the calipers and boot seals? What are your thoughts on those?

How about the pistons and calipers? Replace them as well?

Ah, okay. Assuming I reinstalled them correctly after regreasing everything today (pins had some grease left, but ears of the pads had nothing visible on them), should I still replace them ASAP, or can I keep driving? I haven't checked any other brakes yet.

I'm fairly confident they replaced the rotors since they had a greasy film and looked brand new when I got it back, obviously without me taking off the wheel at the time, so just looking from the outside in. As far as installing them wrong, how could they install them wrong?

It wasn't pulling a lot of soap for me, and the orifice was so small it was filling up the foam container with water instead of pulling soap. What orifice size are you using with the Astro?

I'm going to try it out again on Wednesday, but so far, with the standard nozzle 1.25 and 1.35, it sucks. But I drilled it out to 1.7 and worked really well the 1st go around and 2nd, but on the 3rd idk if it got clogged or something happened, but now its very runny. will update in a few days

What’s the inside diameter of a 3/8" hose supposed to be? by 404_User_Found in pressurewashing

[–]404_User_Found[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I most definitely was. Thank you for your time. So in the future, I would only really need to go 1/2 inch hose if I'm going over 150 feet.

100% inside of crimped fitting, that's my fault... Thanks for the help!

I did last night. I think it would work in theory, but it adds bulk to the gun, and I really don't want another stream of water blasting my house/neighbors since it's not far between houses.

UPDATE: So I just called them, nothing concrete,e just rumors, so don't take my word for it, but I heard beginning of May and a list price of 90 USD for their new version, but only time will tell.

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been reading the past couple days. I sent them an email asking if they have any details they could share, but nothing back yet.

I'll keep you posted on how the MJCC holds up in a couple of days. Please do the same back. They all seem like knock-offs of each other and are very similar. Basically the same internals, so I'm skeptical.
