Right, but then again......you would probably have been quick to depress the brake, and realized you could not press the brake pedal, and torque the nut simultaneously.

I posted the service manual page for the spindle nut, so he could torque it solo.

I actually made a tool to hold the brake on

Lol, thanks guys, actually got it fixed a couple of hours ago. But had to go out to dinner with the SO. Let me tell you, I feel like a retard taking that nut off...

Anyways, got the other rear rotor done in like 30 minutes, once I learned from all my other mistakes on the first.

Tomorrow I do the fronts... Any veteran advice on anything different up front?
