I finally got the actuator modified back to original and installed -
all set to bleed the brakes and get 'er back on the road.

NNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

The freakin' zerks on the BRAND NEW CALIPERS were rusted to nubs -
NUBS - nothing to grip, came apart in my hands and the brake wrench.

Now I gotta remove the calipers, use an easy out to get the rest of
the zerks out of the calipers....

WHAT NEXT!?!? *:)

Salt water really chews the **** outta stuff, doesn't it? Seems you
have to wash down with fresh every time you retrieve the boat.

This ****ed me off because all the brake fittings are supposed to be
stainless.
