Yea, replace the clamp first, with one of those adjustable-type ones with the built in screw.

 

Thanks guy. I did the by pass and it seems to fix the issue. I will monitor to see if all is working well. Got some leak when i started first time - i believe the remaining fluid from the by passed tubes came out. I will post some pics about by pass later.

off to the next issue - fixing rear drum brakes. i will post another thread. It's a b**** job and i wished i would have never taken it on.

 

good to hear.
