I have a thing against bolts....

Anyways, getting the rotor free requires a few larger bolts being removed....and they are ALWAYS stuck. A brake job is what pushed me into airtool ownership, stupid carrier bolts.

got them from Irish22......


If you need a hand installing them swing by, I'll warm up the air tools.

hey Ed,

yeah, i will be home sunday morning probably working on them by late morning/afternoon. was going to go home to the rents house to use their driveway. i have had the calpiers off soooo many times and the bolts are no problem. the only hard thing will be pulling the rotors off.....they are probably pretty binded on!!!!!

You are free to use my garage if you want, not sure how close your parents are. I have yet to see a car that those carrier bolts were not siezed on. I'll just be hanging out all day.....may as well do something productive. Heh, I'll get you out for a ride on the Turbo bike.

Call Astral over, he's a pro at doing them now!

I'll see how my weekend looks. It's the one weekend a month I have off with the girlfriend so she tends to rule it with an iron fist...albeit a tiny iron fist.
 
maybe mine were just a b****. i donno, maybe im weak. who knows. they came off hella easy with a 1/2 rachet as opposed to a 3/8 thats about all i remember about that
 
planning on tomorrow morning if i am not asked to come into work for overtime and if it is not rainning......
