Removed the OEM spacers that seemingly galvanized to the hub when it rolled off the factory floor 20 years ago (a tribulation)
New sebro discs and textar pads (an enjoyable job)
I didn't know that factory spacers came with lugs, but I looked it up on Autoatlanta and the 17-MM Spacers used lug nuts. You learn something new every day.
Not today, but over the past week I replaced the four O2 sensors. Then I got a misfire on cylinder 5 and since the car has 110K miles on it and I didn't have the best of luck getting a full service history I replaced all six coil packs and plugs.
Changed to my all-seasons. After I did so and went for a test hop, I heard a rhythmic light scraping sound from right rear. After literally peeling the onion layers away troubleshooting, found one of the parking brake retaining springs broken and the shoe leaning at an angle. Hmmm.
Nothing else wrong, so I dial the dealer and they don’t have the part. Called Pelican, thinking west coast might be able to overnight the sucker. As usual, the Pelican parts folks were super helpful and got the part out ASAP. Less than 24 hours after finding the broken spring, the new spring was installed and car ready to go. Call John at x260 if you need stuff done. Some things at Pelican may not’ve changed for the better, but I’ve never found fault with the customer service.
I just wish they’d fix the website ‘update’ from not too long ago. The old one worked great, but new ownership probably needed to put their DNA on it.
