And its only for two weeks. I'm waiting for my blazer up grade, but my stock rotors couldn't wait to go out.
CONGRATS... theres nothing like that feeling of accomplishment... i always feel like tom hanks in that movie where he is trapped on an island, "FIRE, I HAVE MADE FIRE" then run around like a crazy person waving around a giant palm thats on fire screaming n yelling and doing the fire dance... ok, maybe not that accomplished, but when i did the brake backing plates, drums, shoes, cylinders, etc, thats EXACTLY how i felt when i finally finished...
Thanks, your right about that feeling that's one of the greatest feeling now ill be doing the blazer brake up grade have any pointers for me, also
would you recommend changing the brake lines and ball joints if so how can I pull those b joints out they have revits on them also where do I start
after I take the wheels off?
NO IDEA... i havent touched the front of my car yet except to change pads...i will be tackling the front end on my bu this summer when i do the engine swap... so weird adding to that car when i gutted n gave/sold off most of the interior trim... its my winter beater that i never planned on keeping, so i gutted it and sold off or gave away most of it... but then my buddy got tired of seeing me tying my rear bumper back on so he welded new 1/4" steel plates around the last foot of the frame, and i figure the car is so damn good in the snow i might as well keep it... gonna have to get new heater controls for this winter cause not having heat in Connecticut winters SUCKS
