What I worked on this afternoon





I felt honored to even be in their presence let alone turn bolts on them. The black 550 had a master cylinder improperly installed, and the brakes were locked up. After removing the master cylinder, I found that it had been smashed, and leaking, and the booster is nearly full of brake fluid. This was a disaster waiting to happen on two fronts. Loss of brakes, and or a motor sucking brake fluid are probably frowned upon in the Ferrari world. We will send out for a new master, and attempt to clean out the booster.
I have serviced most of this fellows other cars, and was excited when he asked for my help on these. I was surprised how easy it was to remove the booster, far more room, and far easier than most domestic pick up trucks even.
The blue 575 is his newest purchase. I will have to inspect this one soon. No rides today, as it was lousy , rainy weather here in the burgh.
How does one go about becoming a Ferrari Tech?
