It’s a roller! All four wheels are on and I rolled it out into the driveway tonight. You can see pics in the Gallery. I know I still have a long way to go but it’s definitely a satisfying feeling. I wasn’t feeling that way Saturday. Prior…
Spent Sunday putting the front rotors and rear drums together. The fronts went relatively easy. Let me tell you, bearing grease smells like crap. I don’t mean it smells bad, it smells like crap! After I figured out that the rotors had their own races I managed to pop…
Important tip: When hitting something with a hammer it’s a good idea to make sure the bracket is solid or else put something behind it. I didn’t do that and I wound up cracking the timing cover. So, $60 later I have a new (used and very dirty)…
