[FC] brakes update

Sounds as if the entire system is new.  This would be the perfect time to 
consider going to DOT5 fluid.

Later, JR

Thanks to everyone for their inputs on my recent brake questions.  After
talking to several mechanics, I was told that they normally just toss
the wave washer, this makes it easier to get the clip on, I decided to
try it and see what happens.  The only purpose that it serves is to take
up tolerance between the arm and web of the shoe.  I managed to find
some time on Sunday and got the rear brakes installed on the rampy.  Now
I just need to get the front brakes on, bleed the system (all new
lines), and lube the front e-brake cable.



Anybody have any words of wisdom on lubing the front cable?  Best way to
clean and lube, etc..
