First order of business was to get the NUMATX filled with ATF and bled so that it could be used. Man, what a disaster.

Forgot to loosen the inlet port, and pushed too hard on the syringe causing the syringe to split, and ATF to go everywhere. Syringe was not repairable. Amazon Prime to the rescue - 2 new syringes delivered to the door tomorrow (a Sunday) for 8 bucks.

Finally! Started work on the kit - completed all steps on page 6-02. Also completed Steps 1 and 2 on page 6-03.

Failed squeezer setup and subsequent cleanup took about 3.5 hours.

Counting about 5 hours of build time today, not including the initial NUMATX setup fiasco.
