    I wish it would rain here. Freaking 104 degrees.

    Today I replaced my drum brake shoes and springs. Replaced wheel cylinders as well when one deicded to squirt across the garage after reassembling drums.
    Front pad replacement to come soon.

    Replaced battery cable connectors. Factory ones just weren't clamping and the postive kept coming off causing* click* dead car at key turn.

    Depending on the mileage on the hubs/bearings, it might be added insurance to change the bearings while it's apart.

    Yes, Tom has the capri setup. I was over there yesterday morning looking at it.
    No, I dont have a press, but members here have used the axle nut to install the hub.
    I just got off the phone with a shop about having the hubs pressed on/off. They want $40 per hub and said it would destroy the bearings, so i'm currently looking for a shop that knows what they are doing so they dont destroy the bearings.

    You have a member local to you, who is currently runing the Capri setup!

    Otherwise, do you have a press to but the OEM style rotor back on?

    Pulled Twizted out, got him all cleaned up and fixed a vibration issue. I will finally get to drive him again and keep my fillings in my teeth.
