Man, that was a pain…

Well…as you know, I got the new brakes for the back of the car yesterday with plans to install new ones on the side that failed and I thought things were going to go okay when the caliper retractor started to turn…but, it didn’t pull it back all the way so after turning it for ages…I got out my c clamp and pushed the piston back enough to get the caliper on the new pads…they had so much paint on the new pads that they wouldn’t fit over the slides…so I had to get my angle grinder out and take the paint off so I could install the pads…what a pain…but the car is back together and it will sit until Monday or so with the 8 inches of snow we got here and then I’ll take it out for a test run…at least I know it’s not going to grind and now I can relax and watch the races from Daytona tonight….
