MrSauga must have gotten stuck at work, or at the bar after work...
lol, work never goes past 8 hours, but this last week has been nothing but car repairs and some fence work around the house. And no the two are not related!
I had to replace the rotors and pads all around. Simple job right? Wrong.
Wheellock key twists off inside the lug making it a useless piece of shit. I had to figure out a way to get all tire locks off, one from each wheel. Youtube told me to smash a socket over the lug which is just slightly smaller. Worked, but too tired to do anymore.
Next day all pumped to get going again. Got the wheel off the driver front side, removed the caliper and pads to find the rotor is rusted solid on the axle hub. Smash, bash, heat, curse, bang knucles, throw hammer, kick tire, and went back to Youtube. Youtube told me to use the caliper bracket where the bolts go through and use a jacking bolt to pop that bitch off. Worked, but man did that pop. Grabbed the axle hub and found some wobble. Weird, that shouldn't do that. So, had to plan to replace the axle bearing hub assembly another weekend(this weekend).
Finished up the left side, moved to the front right and repeated everything except the stuff prior to the jacking bolt. I smrat this time around!
So never got to the rears last weekend. Today was the rear rotors, pads and front bearing assembly. Rears much easier to do, but just as seized. The axle hub bearing assembly took a 10lb steel mallet and a Pman blunt to calm me down and she finally released.
All done and car feels great today.
Never did make it to the bar
I would have toasted Youtube for a job well done.
I see Luiz’s influence is rubbing off on us all. I’ve been starting to up my game with the grow calendar...
