I've taken the little retaining clip off the little square nut thing sticking out of the grease cap, what next? I've tried prying and banging but don't want to proceed if in fact the cap "screws" off. And yes, I'm doing the brakes so I can slow down after I break the sound barrier :) >> Use a very BIG screwdriver on the side of the cap to either pry or tap the driver handle with a small hammer. After which, you should perforate all your brake lines with small needles. That way, when you go supersonic, the expansion caused by heat will seal the pores appropriately That you can have still brake pressure when it comes time to stop. Kinda like the way the SR-71 has leaky fuel tanks when it's at rest. Believe me it's all true. If it doesn't work, ask for me in Georgia under the name of HK Sawyer. Yeah that's my real name.
