Let me clarify that statement. When I say I suck at working on cars it means a 1 hour job takes me 4 hours (especially if it’s my first time doing something). Once I get the hang of it (do it a second or 3rd time) I then can get it done in the 1 hour it takes everyone else. Honestly I’m a very meticulous person and I took my time. I’m also a paranoid person haha. Of course I watched a video and wrote the instructions done and followed them to a T. Was just wondering if there’s anything else to lookout for to know if it was done correctly. I could be wrong but I feel if I introduced air into the system the pedal would have went down further before the car stopped. It’s not doing that and I also mentioned I never let the fluid reservoir empty. I also think the car would shift poorly if I introduced air into the system but it is shifting fine.
My plan was to pay to get the job done but sometimes things don’t work out and we have to do things ourselves. Also coincidentally I saw a few other people post in the 1le FB group that they too bled there brakes for the first time ever yesterday haha.
