Once again....Thank you Carl!!!!

Unread post by Eve »

K so Carl talked me into running to U-Do-It today and letting him help me (not an easy thing for me!!). In one day I learned how to change springs, disk brakes, use air tools, use angle saws and grinders, drill holes where I needed them and more!! :D

I know, not totally high tech compared to the rest of you but one heck of a start!!!

Carl - you're the best!!! :D :D :D

my help me with my CJ days usually have 2 batches of cookies. your welcome to come too John.

Eve, have you done drum brakes yet? I HATE them! You need a degree in puzzles to get them together. Once curses start flowing more than other words my dad takes over.

where was this done, looks like a nice garage?

Is that a problem? I mean, really...
Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty.

Drum brakes are easy. Easier than replacing rotors/bearings/races prior to automakers going to unit hubs.

Practice young padawan learner.
