It's pretty easy unless you have a frozen caliper/ pin, etc.. You can easily do it with basic hand tools. I can also lend a hand with Rob if you need, let me know.

 

Did you work at the rink last night?

 

That would be great! Not sure when but definitely this summer. I'll definitely let you know when the time comes.

 

No, I was there Saturday night and I'll be back Wednesday night. There was a tournament this past weekend.. Friggin kids trashed every locker room and lit a trash can on fire in the second floor bathroom... I'd kill them if they were my kids.

 

What the hell are those little f***ers thinking!!! Hope the cameras were running. I was there last night and there were tacos all over the parking lot, I thought for sure you were one of them. we'll catch up one of these days.

 

Yeah they probably were.. The boss knows so hopefully they follow through and try to catch them. I usually park around the right side by the garage.. Less people park out there, so there is less of a chance for people to run their sticks/bags down the side of your truck. Came out one day and some kid had the car door open into the passenger door of my truck.. They just don't care. Let me know if you will be around any Wednesday nights in July!

 

Piece of cake! If I recall correctly, the front skid plate bolts thread into the rotor holes to make removal really simple.

 

At the airport Monicas. Leaving in an hour for Ohio. If I post photos later of me driving a Chevy Cruz that means the car was a no go

 

Good luck Rebecca

God that's no good

 

no...
People gotta slow the fuck down in work sites.
Noticed that when I was driving on 495 last week....how fast people were driving.
I sound like an old fuddy duddy.

 

Morning everyone.

I don't know what it is but I was so tired yesterday I felt like I had mono and could barley get through the day but then last night I didn't sleep well at all?

 

sorry to hear Rob.
I feel like I am perpetually tired.

 

Damn, that's not good at all. No one needs to die just trying to do their job.

I grew up in NY and they really cracked down on getting people to slow down in construction zones. By comparison, MA does an absolute shit job with their notifications to drivers and getting the public through the work zone. NY DOT actually bought and paid for a whole bunch of state troopers, bought all their equipment and put them through training, then turned them over to the NYS Troopers with the caveat, when we call for a detail for a construction zone, you'd better have people available. Now, you typically see 1 or 2 at every construction site, and 1 is usually in his car at the end waiting to nab someone who failed to slow down. So, word of caution, slow down in NY construction zones, they don't have a lot of tolerance for that.

 

Half hour job. I can help you out any time. Front brakes on these trucks are very easy. You can actually change just the pads in about 5 minutes per side with nothing but a pair of pliers and a lug wrench to get the wheel off.

 

Nice. Thanks.

 

The other thing I see a lot here is the road work signs up when there is no evidence of road work whatsoever. You see that enough times and people are going to start ignoring them.

For instance, there have been signs on route 8 in Becket for over a month now warning of road work. There is no road work and no sign of them starting any time soon either. They're on every side road and at the beginning and end of town. That's a windy road. Guess what's going to happen the day they start working and the people who have been driving through are ignoring the signs because they were put up months too early?

 

Have seen that too.

 

As long as the pins are in good shape, at least. All four of mine were rusted and bent when I started drifting them out, so they took a hell of a lot of work to get out of the calipers.

But, once they were out...5 minutes.
