Long story, short...

I redid my rotors pads and lines back in September. A few days later I noticed I was missing a wrench out of my toolbox but didn't think anything of it. Meanwhile over the last 4 months I've noticed my brakes didn't really feel like an aftermarket setup... the pedal was still a bit mushy and the performance was meh.

So I'm under my car fixing the stupid plastic under-piece that fell after a few rough speedbumps... and I notice the paint is all flakey on the inside facing of the caliper. That's when I found my wrench which was still attached to the bleeder screw. For all this time brake fluid has been slowly leaking and causing the mushy pedal symptom. Would also explain the clunking and squeaking I've been noticing coming from the front end. Oh well... here's an image for you all:

Wow... thank goodness it didn't cause any damage or got you killed!

 

Wow lol

 

i guess that would be considered a monkey wrench at this point

 

I thought it may on the bookshelf next to Jesus.

 

we had a guy at my work leave a hammer inside a spring perch once during a service. 3500 miles later when they returned for the next service, he found it

 

Did they even notice and if they didnt did he take it off and not say anything haha.

 

they never said anything. it was resting in the hole of the perch and the handle went down the middle of the spring so it wasnt really banging around. he told the rest of the shop but nothing was said to the customer in fear of losing business

 

David that's one story you shouldn't tell the world jk glad you found it now instead of later!

 

lol @ David

I was wondering what you guys were talking about when I heard 11mm wrench

 

Haha that's ****** awesome!!

 

That's freakin' awesome! Glad it hung in there, OP!

 

My buddy left a socket on my suspension but it flew off about a mile down the road.. lol
