did a stupid thing yesterday
« on: October 17, 2005, 17:29:56 »
whilst replacing the rear brake cylinder I thought I would save time by filling the new cylinder up with brake fluid before putting it on and thus make the job of bleeding easier.

well, filled up the clyinder and accidentally pressed in one of the pistons and got an eye full of brake fluid.

spent the next 10 mins holding my eye open under the kitchen tap to wash it out.

it still stings today, so bought some eye drops

Oopsy.  Brake fluid is pretty unpleasant stuff, is it worth going to the doctor just in case?

It was worth a try.....

Hard luck, hope it stops stinging soon.

I think this is what they call the learning curve  :wink:
