Swinging for Divorce…
Damn 77 degrees and 45 degree humidity feels good… I was going to work on it yesterday but I went to hang my Pabst banner and fucked up my finger when the drill slipped off the boot and the bit went straight into my finger. Luckily it’s not on my main work hand, this one just holds the mirror. I’ll have to get some finger condoms for the tip…
Working on brakes now.
Rears are done, DrDiff 10.7in rear discs. Almost bought the size up, 11.2in I believe, but these looked less complicated and looked like they matched better.
Went with 11.7s for the front and that is where I’m stuck currently.
I found out I already had 11in backing plates and 11in caliper brackets, cool I can do 11in on the purple car.
Dr Diff gives new caliper bracket bolts, but they are Allen heads which kind of sucks, especially for me since I don’t have Allen head sockets… I guess I’ll go buy some… or maybe different bolts.. or both…
Then I believe the race (I think that’s the name for the outer portion of the bearing) is already in the rotor. I need to remember how I got the seal on my rotors last time without breaking it, I bet I just got a large socket and tapped it in nicely…
