This is why I suggest people not use compressed air to disassemble their brake calipers.

Wow, I remember the first time I drilled my shocks. Precautions were taken, but not to any extreme.
After reading this thread I am so glad that I didnt get fucked. Something so little has such a large effect.
My condolences man.My previous build (currently E30-less)

Funny I should come across this thread. The exact same thing happened to me back in highschool drilling the bumper shocks on my buddy's e28. We had rags over the shocks and goggles on but we still got shock fluid everywhere. I could taste that crap for days! Fortunately, I don't seem to have any ill effects from that disaster.

when i did the bumper shocks on my e30, i used a big f'ing hammer, and a punch. i had the shock in a bench vise, and just hit it 2 or 3 times. fluid just kinda oozed out everywhere. no spraying at all. when i compressed them, there was a little surge of fluid, but other than that, no problems.Originally posted by BillBraskyThat's like Vlad challenging Chip Foose to a car painting contest.Originally posted by acolella76i'm pretty sure 'Phillis' is short for syphilis

When I was cutting the front frame to fit a larger radiator, using a cutting torch I didn't realize the bumper shock was underneath. When the torch pierced it it was like a huge flame thrower in the engine bay that reached the windshield.
Not wearing any gloves or face mask it burned the skin off my index and middle finger and luckily only singed my hair and eyebrows. True story.Need a Turbo manifold? We have them in stock- Click here---> http://rapidspoolindustries.com/
