i hate to be a such a noob, but any help would be appreciated.
what size bleeder screws do i need for my calipers for my 90 f150 RWD 4.9L? are the front or rear ones different? thanks in advance

 

well, i hammered on a 10mm socket and used the flaming wrench, and it came out, brought it to napa and got bleeders... so i dont care about that anymore ;-) the brakes work fine now (after a bleeding) but now after finally switching the title over, and driving it for a day... the radiator (or a hose) gave way when i was trying to do a braketorque! luckily i was like 2 blocks from my home, so now i probably gotta pull the radiator and probably JB weld it, any suggestions while doing this?

 

what's a braketorque?

And as to JBwelding the radiator....do yourself a favor and don't.

JBweld is a great product for certain applications but this isn't one of them. You have water, pressure, heat, and expanding/contracting of the materials.

 

Abusing the hell out of the tranny by applying both brakes and throttle at the same time. Something inevitably lets go. If you ripped a radiator hose, I'd check your motor mounts as well. You probably destroyed one of them which allowed the engine to move enough to take out the hose.

I won't even ask why you did this because I'm sure I wouldn't understand the answer

 

New rad ain't to expensive for these trucks.

no need to ask why, burnouts are fun, there isnt ANY arguing that, BUT. ive obviously already found out, this aint the vehicle for it, its wheelhop city. oh and actually what happened, the clutch fan scraped the radiator, tearing some of it... and yes im still trying to JBWeld it, kinda just for giggles, im probably gonna just go and pick one up from a junkyard...

 

Check your motor mounts. There is absolutely NO way the fan should be able to get into the radiator if your mounts are intact.

Since you think burnouts are such fun, you'll really going to enjoy the $1000 tranny rebuild that accompanies brake torquing a stock tranny.

 

If you can't do a burnout without using the brakes, replace the engine while you're having the tranny rebuilt
