Chandler's Battleship of Doom

Ill see if i can get them to ship it to the hotel actually. Dont think that should be a problem since we have had work stuff sent there.

As far as i know im leaving next tuesday

 

I have all my stuff sent to my hotel when I'm out of town, Amazon 2 day shipping FTW. Does it allow you to select shipping type on the website?

 

Ha, thats awesome. Prime is expensive though.

Yea it does, it showed $30 for overnight. Ouch. But itll be here friday morning then. Im just going to call and order in the am so the correct address gets used and there isnt any confusion.

 

ouch, yeah id just call them remember they are an hour ahead if your looking to call right when they open

 

Perfect timing for when i get off at 7

 

Ill bring my jack so we can tackle them at the same time. @Palehorse1 do you have a torque wrench that can go at least 178ft-lb mine only reaches 150. Otherwise Ill rent one tomorrow/friday cause me and @Sacrifice will have to torque the axle nut back, and I guess that one is a pretty big deal for prolonging the life of the wheel bearing.

 

Damn didnt realize it needed to be that high. Might need a breaker bar just to loosen it

 

yeah I had to use a short bar to break mine, wasn't too bad. I have the 35mm nut for it

 

Ok cool. I could use a higher torque wrench at home anyways so ill see if i can buy one tomorrow. Wont have to worry then

 

They are free to borrow with a deposit from a auto parts store, auto zone usually has the best wrench in my experience. I don't usually have the need for anything over 150 so I usually just borrow if I ever do. Let me know if you end up with one, if not its all good ill go rent one

 

Yea i know they do that. Its just a pain imo. Ill let you know, probably get a digital one since the prices werent too bad.

The nut is a 1/2 inch drive? Im assuming so since thats what they are all usually, just want to verify.

 

What's the secret to taking the flares off?

 

Undo a couple of bolts from the inside and then have your wife pull them off.

 

I do not have a 200lb torque wrench.

 

The correct way? Undo the bolts, undo the liners and the undo the clips from the backside.

My way: undo the bolts and rip the clips off.

 

I'm more than likely just going to yank them off

 

Torque wrench is secured. Bushing will be here tomorrow as well

 

Yeah man, it seems like those clips weren't meant to be reused. I cut the backs of them off and just replaced all of them.

 

If you can get the fender liner out they are actually really easy to undo. I just didnt care

 

Yeah, I definitely ripped my fender liners out. Maybe I just got impatient and that was the fastest way to get the flares off. I made sure I had enough clips on hand to replace them all though.
