With the spring in the air and the “driving-season” about to start, it was time for a long postponed job: Changing the hydraulic fluids in ‘t Kreng. It was the first time I did this job in the shed. And it was a bit of a squeeze with all the TR7’s inside!
As for the job itself, that is something I usually do every two years. Though this time it was almost three years since the hydraulic systems last fluid change. Mainly caused by the lack of use, as a result of which the fluids didn’t look to bad once drained from the system.
And with the proven two man bleeding method it didn’t take long to get the systems flushed and bled. Discussing the other two projects in the shed took more time 😊
This also meant I had to return this Sunday morning to finish a few smaller job. Like re-installing the brake failure switch, cleaning the wheels, and checking the tyre’s pressures.
Turned out the tyre’s pressures had dropped about 0,2 bar over the past 11 months (from 2,10 to 1,90 bar). So nothing to worry about. The same applied for the engine fluids. A gentle drive to wake her from her 11 month slumber is the next item in my TR7 scheduler.
