12.02.11 Season / Year End Maintenance

• Oil and filter change with 5.50 (annual)

• Transmission fluid change with factory fluid (annual)

• Fluid flush with SRF (annual)

• Front and real caliper dust seal replacement

• Front and rear stainless steel brake line replacement
  
  At my last tech inspection, I asked about caliper rebuilds, and was told if the dust seals are kept in good shape, they are the first line of defense against needing a rebuild, and mine were showing some minor signs of cracking, so figured after 7 years, and taking the temps up higher than usual on the track, I opted to have all these replaced vs. a complete rebuild.
  
  If the dust seals fail, dirt/dust gets into the piston bore and causes damage; this is what typically necessitates a rebuild.
  The lines have served me well, and I have never had a problem with them, but again, after 7 years, and now with track driving, I consider it preventative maintenance. The stainless lines were actually slightly less expensive than the factory lines, so figured I’d give them a shot.
