    Is it too ambitious to think I could put new sway bars on at this tech day? In addition to doing the shifter boots?

    I don't see any problem with replacing your sway bars. Make sure you spray the end links and attachments with WD40 or Liquid Wrench the night before for an easier removal.

    Here are my plans for the day! Replace my frozen caliper, front and rear home depot lip, rear mud flaps, Crank angle sensor Oring, and if i can get a fender roller put the suspension on, but that would be last if i had time... Sound good?

    PB blaster is a pentrating lubricant. Should be able to find it at most autoparts stores.

    I'll have to borrow that wrench, I'm sure I don't have anything big enough. May even need pneumatics.

    I picked up some brats to put on the grill with the burgers for lunch. If you want to come out and need the directions just pm me.

    Found out how Tim got the food he served us while changing his brakes. Hmmmm, thought I smelled something funny. Explains were the BRATS came from.





    Apparently he ran over something on the way home this morning.

    Not a bad days work. 5 brakes, 2 sway bars, shift boots and a 1.6 CAS in just a few hours. Nice cool and breezy. Good brats and charred cow. All in all a very good day.
