Default Yaffe 12" Install COMPLETE !!!
I had no idea if I would be able to complete this install, but if you have a service manual and a LOT of patience it can be done. I owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to SBates08 for walking me through a lot of it. What a great guy and a tribute to this forum.

My project is almost complete. I still have a LOT of new chrome to install and will post an update after that is complete.

I think you did a fine job Mark. You don't give yourself enough credit. And a little bit of luck doesn't hurt either (inside joke)!!!

Haha. What I didn't tell you was: first time bleeding brakes, first time using a Mitivac, I let the master cylinder run dry once, the rubber thing that fits down over the bleeder nipple came off twice and the freaking handle broke on the Mitivac. So......I finished the job by myself by pumping the brake lever and opening the bleeder. The fact that I had strong front brakes and the ABS light goes off like it should was not luck my friend. It was divine intervention. Lol
