Saturday evening I was able to remove the J pipe and put several good squirts of tool oil in the new (small cannister) style cannister. I started her up, and let her build up pressure then worked the brakes several time with NO sticking pedal so I drove it around on back roads, and it worked as...

Streetbike.......thanks for that info, and the link.

Well......you'll all should be proud of me, I learned to use the SEARCH page on this site. I typed in airpack, and got way too much stuff, and never did find the info I was looking for. But, then I typed in "lube airpack", and all I needed to know was right there. COOL! I especially appreciated...

Scrapman, thanks for the lube advice I was wondering what to use. Now.......where do I put the lube? In the big can end, or the smaller valve end?

Jake/Jeff/Recovery: Thanks for the info where to look, and I concur, now that I know the airpack is involved, to buy a new one and rebuild the ENTIRE brake system at one time! Thanks for all the advise, but more importantly telling me where to read up on this stuff. - Thanks!

I have all new brake parts, master cylinder and 6 wheel cylinders I plan on installing in a couple of weeks, I just want to purge the lines before I install the new parts. The only thing I don't have new is an air pack. I've been reading in the search area on airpacks, but still haven't found...

Awww....I got it now (finally).....thanks for being patient! Ok now to the next question.....what is the best substance to use to purge my brake lines of this hideous concoction?

I understand that DOT 3 and DOT 5 are not compatible but thought it was because one is synthetic and one isn't. BOTH the DOT 5 and the DOT 3 I used ARE SYNTHETIC so why is there an issue? Curious minds want to know.......so they don't screw up and do the same thing twice!

Airpack? Not by me! What needs to be done there? Running Dot 5 synthetic, but added some new stuff, DOT 3 SYNTHETIC, as I needed brake fluid right now and that was all that was available. Never heard of DOT 3 Synthetic, but I "figured" since it was synthetic it was probably compatible. But...

My daily driver is a M1009, it blew the flexplate so that will be this weekends project....DOH! So i needed to drive my Deuce today (M35A2), when I went to stop at a 4-way stop, the pedal was HARD, and would not move, I downshifted and made a right hand turn and coasted right through the stop...
