    someones got pansy hands i see....lol

    should have seen the brake job i did last week for my friend, full floating rear axle, 3500 dually rear end too. (8 lugs per side) so to get the rotors off the you take the axle out, ( 8 bolts per side) after you take off the easily 20 lb caliper and its bracket.then un bolt the hub bolt and then slide this 40 lb rotor off. way to many bolts for a brake job. hell the caliper bolts were 18 mm lol the bracket bolts were 21 iirc. every thing needed a breaker bar to get off, and thats good cause i put them on 2 years ago. he ate a brake pad so we got both sides cut and new pads installed. and new e brake shoes to boot.

    the fronts are no better really.

    Compression looks great.

    I'd stick with the .045 gap on the turbo car.

    Pansy hands? Why You!@#$%^*(&)(*&^!%@#~~$@#$^&#*&(&*&(&# I like to call them "salesman's hands" because I drive to factories and sell stuff to them. mainly conveyor stuff.



    Dangit! gapped them all to .035 and installed them. Is that going to hurt anything?

    you'll know when driving it if the plug gap aint right, or to tight. warm it up, take it for a spirited ride.
