Yesterday was a day of progress followed up by an exercise in futility. The new rotors fit like a glove, the new calipers wen on without a hitch and things were looking good.

And then came time to bleed the system. Poured just shy of a full bottle of brake fluid into the reservoir, hooked up the Motive brake bleeder, pressurized the system and then......
Freaking Niagara falls over the rear end where the rear hard line connects to the top of the center flex line.
Donned the goggles, contorted myself again in ways I should not be contorted, disconnected the line, tried to ensure the hard line is properly seated in the flex line and it still continues to drip.
UNCLE! I'm throwing in the towel. There comes a point when I have to ask "What is my time worth?" and that time has come. I put the wheels on, loaded the front calipers, rotors, flex lines and shocks in the back and pulled it out of the garage. Our cars are now in the garage for the first time in two months. I need a weekend that's really a weekend so I'm calling the shop on Monday and taking it down.
one big EXERCISE IN FUTILITY.
