Bleeding the brakes thingy

Jim,
Is it caring or just a good business model which results in customers having to return to the dealer for everything remotely mechanically related?
My last car, a new ford, required partial removal of the bumper (fender), removal of the front grill, removal of the battery and displacement of the ECU just to replace the headlight bulb.
£3 for the bulb and £65 labour costs (about $90) as some of the parts needed special tools to remove.

Good Lord. Some bulbs on my 08 Caddy SRX I took the wheels and fender liners off, but for the headlamp, the whole bumper had to come off. Silliest crap I've ever seen.

Not sure I can add a picture, don’t you have to be a vip member?

Only if you want to store/serve pics on the AN server. If you upload to some other image hosting service (Google Drive, Pbase, etc) then you can copy image links to here which get displayed without being VIP.

But VIP is generally a good idea to keep this site going.

Yes, all standard photo sharing sites can host images to be linked at other sites. Beware however that if that site changes its sharing policy ( like PhotoBucket previously did), the images will no longer display from any linked locations.

To post a linked image, first go to your hosting site, display the image, right click it to get a pop up list it items, select Copy Image URL, go to you AN message reply and click the little landscape icon ( next to the happy face icon) in the tools bar above the text entry area. Now paste in the copied URL in the image URL box, hit enter/return and your pic should display right where your cursor was in the text box.
 
Very easy, it’s a double sided tape holding it on.
Pushing down will loosen them, then a plastic spatula of some kind will ping ‘em off.

Some alcohol / brake cleaner or similar will be needed to remove glue residue.

Job done !
 
And, I've found WD-40 is excellent for removing most adhesive residues from just about anything. I even use it when trying to separate tow parts with a gasket between...I think it seeps in between the surfaces to relieve the suctional forces helping keep them together.
