Bay Area weekend drive planning/interest
Moderators: GRNSHRK, ron, bfons
Hey, people. I had a BITCH of a time today with changing my front brake disks. The little bolt that holds the disk to the hub stripped out on the driver side. I had to drill it, then use an extractor, but the head came off and part of the edge of the bolt was still jamming on the disk. So then I had to pop off the hub nut dust cap to use my big 3 jaw puller to yank off the damn disk. Since that bolt just holds the disk to the hub while you bolt on the caliper and wheel, I just loctited in the remaining stub and used it to hold things aligned while I bolted on the wheel. I sure could have used a helper while I tried to put the damn caliper on. The disk flopping around was a pain in the ass. MAN what a drag! A one hour job became a three hour ordeal.
At any rate, I need a couple of the small bolts that hold the disk to the hub. If anyone has a couple (or can get them on the way there) I would happily take them off your hands. I will likely get there closer to 11:00, but I am SOOOOOO down for some good tacos. See everyone tomorrow.

Hello all. Today i fucked up my right eye by say hello to a rapidly movimg bungee cord. I recently returned from the er and will be ok, but cannot drive and need to stay in bed.
You all can still meet in the shop parking lot, i guess, since this wont make it to you all. Have a good meet if you do.
