Luckily, I was only in a parking lot at about 5 mph when it happened but the wheel did zip right out of my hands. I don't grip the wheel so as soon as I felt what was happening I let up on the wheel and the car simultaneously lurched to a stop. As I said, I was thankful that I wasn't clipping along the avenue at 35 when it happened! Then it would have been brakes AND new front sheet metal, etc.

I'm going to replace the cylinders and springs, adjust them, and put new silicone* fluid in. From what I've read from you guys so far I think that might do the trick.

Any pros/cons on silicone brake fluid. I saw it offered on Rick's 1st Gen site.
