    Is there anyone in the Norcal area that would be willing to help me install my AP leaf springs, brake lines, and rear shocks? I live in an apartment complex so it's difficult for me to do it, and I could use another set of hands. Thanks!

    I will snag your tires next week when I'm back from 4th of July.

    Anyone else? I know it's an early bump!

    Those rear brake lines are a PITA. just to give you heads up. Make sure you have a good brake bleeder on hand as well.

    I was going to say the only thing I don't know how to do is bleed the brakes. My friends Anthony and Brian do so maybe they could come to help and we can throw some burgers on the BBQ and have a mini meet.

    You will need a very good 10mm open ended wrench to get the brake lines off. They are pretty tight and round off easily. Let me know when. If i dont have other plans I can roll up and help.

    Ah crap that's right. I'll talk to Jacob again. Maybe Friday the 16th? Jason would you be able to do the 10th or no way because you are moving?
