    Any quote I get is 2-3-5x the cost for anyone else because I’m a dentist. To run wire to the barn I got a 7k quote then another quote from someone who knew I was a dentist and it was magically 20k for that one. Easier and significantly cheaper for me to do as much myself as possible. Keeps...

    The SS braided lines or the metal lines?

    Swinging for Divorce…

    Been a couple weeks. I’ve been slammed. Remodel at the office started so I had to get half the office cleared out and consolidate the other half. I did take a bunch of cabinets from the office and I’m going to use them as shop cabinets, can’t ever have enough storage. Planned on working on...

    Well the pre-bent kit said for disc brakes, but apparently that’s only the fronts. It’s ok, I can do it… I’m just a grumpy old man.

    I don’t have time, I wanted pre-bent ones, that’s why I bought the kit! Time is not on my side with 3 kids, a wife, and a million things to do all the time.

    Brake lines pissed me off. Pre-bent lines were for rear drum brakes, lame. Got the tools and ruined most of the metal lines, should have gotten a fancy line bender, but I just have the cheap one. The wife’s mixing bowl helps make the bend on the housing pretty well though. I have a good...

    I’m not going to a convention but I am going for a dental continuing education course. It’s a 3D printing course, it is so I can do more procedures with my 3D printer. Right now I use my printer for surgical guides, models and basic stuff. Soon I want to be 3D printing dentures, partial dentures...

    Ordered the good tools… Ordered some tube, the rear SS line that goes from the hard line to the rear T- adapter… hopefully everything needed to do the rear brake lines. Pain in the butt but it’s ok. Probably won’t get to it for 2 weeks since I’m going to South Carolina next week.

    I’m definitely blaming the tubing material, my big muscles put to many dents in it. I’m also not doing stainless, just OE steel.

    Kind of what I was thinking… Got this stuff when I was working on the purple car. It works but this copper line looks like ****! It’s super soft.

    I’m trying to decide if I want to use the tools I have (cheap flaring tool) or if I want to buy the good one.

    With how sucky it is to bend the lines I should go with no rear brakes

    Swinging for Divorce…

    Tried bending the line, it didn’t look right so I’ll start a new one from scratch.

    Swinging for Divorce…

    I thought about that but I don’t want to kink it. I have copper/nickel line but I want to use a OE steel.

    Pain in my ***… I bought the pre-bent brake lines for a manual disc because I didn’t want to bend or flare lines again. I wanted easy… Well rear lines are for drums… I guess I have to make/flare them. This time I’m getting the good brake flaring tool… Now I don’t want to work on it because...

    That came out a little wrong, my apologies. I was trying to give you a hard time, I have edited my post.

    This shop is the bigger one and because no insulation being finished and no ac I spend most of my time in the other one now.

    Front Hub Bearing

    It’s all done now. I only scratched the inner portion of the hub while driving out the old race a couple of times. No big deal though. I’m sure it will roll pretty somewhat straight… Thanks everyone for the help, suggestions and moral support.

    Front Hub Bearing

    Yeah it got off center for a second on 2 of them and I whacked it with a 10lb sledgehammer and in it went. A brass punch, I’ll have to look for one. The hardest part was getting the larger race out without the punch, the hammer and flathead screw driver kind of sucked. Lots of wacking.

    I think that’s what I did with my purple car as well… it gets driven 2-4x a week

    Front Hub Bearing

    In case anyone is wondering…. The race in the hub for the bigger inner bearing is the same as the one supplied with the DrDiff kit… All that commotion for this little bitty races, I wonder how much of a difference it actually makes. Like real world vs lab testing… kind of like a lot of...

    Front Hub Bearing

    You sir are a gentleman and a scholar, thank you. Pretty soon I’ll be “ToolmanJustin.” I was about to buy some stuff at Lowe’s to get it out but autozone in the parking lot had this little doohickey for sale to get the job done.

    Ok. I’ll use them together. What tool used to put the new race in the hub?

    Front Hub Bearing

    Don’t just throw the bearing in the hub as is? Know the old cups/races out? Are they not the same?
