one problem down, 2 new ones
well, my brake pads finally came in (6 weeks of waiting, thank you military postal). I knew I wasn't going to make Hockenheim tomorrow night, but I was hoping for Nurburgring on Sunday.
Well, maybe not.
When I got the demon rotors off, I was checking everything out and found what I think is a bad wheel bearing. When I turn it w/o the rotor on there, one side is about a mm further out than the other side, and I can hear something (bearing??) rateling around in there.
I think that I caused it by pounding on the rotors, so How do I fix or replace it? What parts do I need to order? The car is still on stands, and I'm going to finish up the rest of the brakes tomorrow. Will the car still be drivable? I'm guessing track time is out until it's fixed?
To top it off, I had the radio on while I was working and left it on for a little too long, so The battery died on me. I figured this out when I tried to close the windows when I went inside and they didn't move. No big deal here, I can get the battery charged or replaced tomorrow, but that's just one more thing to deal with
