    Are you talking about unbolting all the hard line brackets? I thought about it but ultimately I don’t mind bleeding the brakes. Takes all of 5 min. Plus I was unsure if I could do that method by myself. Like if the axles would stay far enough out on their own.

    I embraced the chrome because I was too cheap to buy a color matched one. But, I did do my own Satoshi with some mesh and I think it decreases the impact of the chrome a bit. Might be an option to consider?

    FWIW I wedge a 2x4 in between the hubs and the axle housing. There is enough length in the lines for it and the axles clear the 3rd at that point. Makes it a little quicker, cleaner job.

    Oh fuck that’s smart. I even have some chunks of 2x4 laying around. Dammit Matt, why didn’t you tell me this sooner?

    Pulled the cabin air filter and squirted some foaming cleaner in with the fan on to pull it into the evaporator fins. The instructions said to go through the engine bay inlet but this was more direct. The fan blades needed cleaning anyway.
