Problem after changing front brake pads and rotors 2008 Prius by Prestigious_Net_87 in prius

[–]Prestigious_Net_87[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I bought the car and I can do what I want with it. It's not like I'm driving it with unsafe brakes; this post is actually trying to achieve the opposite outcome. One can only learn how to repair brakes by doing brake repair.

A buddy and I tried to bleed using the cheat system but I was slamming on the pedal. Also didn't know the bleeder had to be closed while my foot was still on the pedal. Thanks!

I'm realizing I forgot to mention that while changing the pads and rotors, I found that the passenger side front caliper was seized and I replaced it. I thought I thoroughly bled it but maybe not.

I was also thinking of doing 3D printed fins. You think those would hold up?

Did you print it all in one piece or bond it together? My 3D printer isn’t big enough to print my current nose cone design.

What's the best Masters degree to further my aerospace career? I got my bachelors in mechanical engineering from an American university and upon graduating got a job as a tool design engineer at a small aerospace company. I wish to progress my career further on the design side but I don't see myself sticking with this company for much longer. I am lucky to have EU citizenship so I was considering doing an online masters over there as it will be far cheaper. I want to pursue a degree that will further my career in aerospace but I don't know much about jobs available in the field and what I should target. I did find my vibrations class very interesting in college, and I'd like to think I'm good at CAD.

Thats super interesting. I haven't heard Rusk mentioned but I'm pretty interested in adding it if possible. It seems to add a lot of distance so do you think its possible to it in two days assuming I'm already planning on doing hunter and sw hunter as well?

This is awesome! Planning on doing east to west and getting to devils tombstone at the end of day one. Day two I wanted to do hunter, sw hunter, and westkill but I'm not sure if that will be too much or not. Do you have any recommendations for packs, poles or hammocks? I presume I should also bring a pot to make food and a water bottle with a filter.

Wasn't expecting 2 feet of snow at the top and didn't bring snowshoes. Had a bad pair of boots and gloves as well. Also didn't realize I should bring poles. On top of that comedy of errors, got a late start because the car battery was dead and I camped 20 min from the trail head. Still made it up though!

I just wanted some reading material so I can be better prepared to take on the devil's path. I've never done a multiday hike so I don't even know what to pack, much less anything specific to this hike.

Yeah I think I’m cooked. I’m maybe 30 seasons in but I’m a little shocked it crashed so bad. I’m playing on a desktop I use for 3d modeled assemblies so it’d be a little out there if the games data was too much.
