I did mine at the end of August when it was over 100 for a few days. At least I didn't do it in July when it was even warmer and didn't cool down at night. My garage gets south and west exposure so I had to wait until night to do my brakes. Sweat streaming down my face trying to wipe it aside to see. I don't know which is worse. A hot, sweaty situation or a cold one. Frankly, I would prefer hot. I have poor circulation and cold does not work well for me. My knees are OK but my back is messed up. Oh, the joys of working on these cars! If we didn't have these things to complain about, it would be our wives or kids or something. Just think of the service we are doing to our families and fellow men by taking our frustrations out on Model A brakes!
