Re: Henry - 1984 C10
Well, I left work at about 4:30 yesterday to pick up all the new brake parts we needed to make up for me ordering the wrong spindle. Got to the parts store to find out they are closing at 6:00 yesterday because of the weather conditions. Well that one AZ store did not have all the parts I needed. Ran across the street to the O'Reilly's for the last part, lucky for me they had it, and they are closing at 6 too.
Got home with all the parts, unboxed the rotors and set them aside, checked the calipers to make sure the hardware was all there, good to go. I took the bearings along with some rubber gloves and the wheel bearing grease inside the house where it was warm. Got all the bearings packed and headed back out to the shop to throw the front brakes together while Owen finished up the rear shocks and rechecked all the bolts.
Started putting in the bearing into the first rotor...Dang it...The AZ store sold me the wrong inner bearings. Its past 6 so we are done for the night. Back to AZ after work today to exchange them for the correct inner bearings. They are getting two pre-packed bearings from me...
...to be continued tonight in the cold shop...
