I still remember the first time I had to put a double-flare on a hard steel line. My dad and I were doing a brake job on our 1987 Suburban. The rear hard line for the wheel cylinder had rusted up and the nut was stripped. We had no choice but to cut it off and make a new ...
Even when you wear a safety harness tethered to the rope, highlining can still be quite dangerous. A fall near the starting point could send you swinging back into the rock, while a tumble midline could cause the rope to fail if it's not set up properly. Contents From Slack to High: ...
Brakes are your car’s most important safety system (after you, the driver). Before ice and snow put your brakes to the test, make sure to get your brakes and brake fluid checked. Replace brake pads if necessary, so you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even on slippery winter roads....
If you pull both the left and right toggles together, it slows the whole wing down and acts like a brake. This allows you to flare to a stop during landing. This level of control makes extremely precise landings possible. Next, we'll look at how a parachute is packed. Packing a ...

Mount the new slave cylinder by hand-tightening the two mounting bolts. Leave the cylinder loose to allow movement. This will aid in starting the supply line into the threaded port. Make sure the line is straight because flare nuts can easily be cross-threaded. Once it is fully started and...
