Hi John, You might want to pick up a set of impact driver sockets, The chrome sockets designed for hand ratchets will split open like a cartoon exploding cigar on an impact wrench. The Harbor Freight set actually gets good reviews and I have used them for years with satisfaction. I am really enjoying this series, thanks. I get all the fun of doing it without having to roll around on the ground myself! Ian
Ian, I'm being driven nuts over using non-impact sockets with my impact wrench...even by Brendan. What am I to do with you gents? I'll fix it, OK? All will soon be well. 😊 Regards, John
Very well done. The older Ford's are really quite different than most. I was told to never place car batteries on cement/concrete floors because they sap power away from the batteries in short order.
Watching " Mr Hands " to explain the doings with the brake master,,,, kind of looked like the old Lava Soap commercials,, lol Remember those? That was before all the Goop tubs started showing up in the garage and shop.
John, That valve from the brake line is called a compensator over here. It defines the pressure split between front and rear, usually somewhere in the 80/20 ratio of fluid to the front/rear calipers.
John, look at the evidence, bent and dented panels, and such, kids learning to drive and after watching a Dukes of Hazard show they "jumped the car" explains the bent panel and broken shock.
That valve is designed to equalize the braking from the rear brakes to the front in the 70% to 30 % front to rear. Many do this purely by restricting the flow. aftermarket versions use a needle valve that you adjust to get the results you desire.

That brass block is the "proportioning valve".
Sam,
No doubt you're right, but I do recall it also being called a banjo fitting.

Often the brake line is slightly smaller diameter on the rear to help with the equalization
Hi John,
Man, whoever put those break lines in musta been Italian! They look like spaghetti! What a rubbish fitting job that was!
