There’s nothing seriously wrong with this brake line, but it’s a lot to deal with for those who aren’t used to working on large trucks or seeing them in mid-sized ones. Trying to bleed this seems akin to an explosives disposal expert sweating while they try to figure out which wire to cut in a movie.
Although some mechanics are used to seeing this, it was a definite first for Reddit user Ross047. As they put it, “For once, I’m glad the customer is doing the work himself.” That’s not something one often hears a mechanic say.
Sometimes, a mechanic’s biggest problem isn’t the car
While it’s understandable that some customers would be wary of their mechanic after a dishonest experience, others are better described as a little too precious about their cars for their own good. And that nervousness can have some pretty annoying consequences.
Judging by this sign, it’s obvious that this mechanic has exactly this kind of customer lurking around the shop right now. And they apparently haven’t learned that just because they want the work to be done, that doesn’t mean it is done.
They’re lucky to be alive
In a sarcastic description of what they encountered at the shop that day, Reddit user DavyJonesThrowback wrote, “If you keep brakes long enough, the squealing stops on its own!” Judging by this photo, the customer’s car passed that threshold a long time ago.
