I HATE this applemac piece of Sh** it auto corrects my typing, I'm reasonably proficient in the use of the English language and don't need the effing spell check thingy so rarely check what I type . . . I KNOW I typed LOCTITE!

YES, photos of the lactate stuff please?

Awesome weekend Rick, many thanks to you and Lisa as always man.
Have a good trip over to the other side.

The next thing you usually find after using that a bar that long is ...... a left hand thread

Just went through the same thing on my GMC this weekend. Didnt have quite that big of a breaker bar......but, it was close. Same lactate tho, First GM truck that I was not able to remove one of the 2 pins and roll it up to change the pads????

Looks like you guys had a great time, sorry I missed it.......... again. Happy Birthday Rick

Just did the back brakes on my van last week (in anticipation that I would be able to make the drive over )

I figured it would take me 2 hours tops to replace the rotors and pads, but NOPE!...everything was siezed or rusted up!!

I ended up having to replace the caliper brackets, pins, hardware, emergency brake shoes, etc.
Nobody carried ALL of the parts, so I ended up running around town buying from FOUR different places. One place had the brackets, one place had two rotors in stock, another for the little rubber dust boots....etc.

Turned into a 6 hour day, not including the hour of trying to SMASH one of the rotors off that had rust-welded itself to the hub.

107,xxx miles since the last time the rear brakes were touched though. So I guess I can't complain too badly

No one told Rick about replacing the dust boots, and that was a time eater. After all that, the left front that was grinding badly didn't get done.....

Heating will help with loctited bolts, but I think that would destroy the boots if not already toast. besides three men and a pipe method doesn't start any unwanted fires
