Brake Install
Just finished installing a brake kit on my car. The hard part is the hydraulic lines and the safety wire on the backside of the rotors . They are hard to get to. I had the rotors e coated so that the vanes would not rust.
I put the SKF bearings on at the same time. That is a project I will outsource the next time I do it.

The torx head cap screws that hold the bearing in didn't want to come out. I broke two Lisle Torx 55 sockets trying to get the old ones out. Phadt send new cap screws, so that makes the assembly easy, but getting the old ones out was a real challenge. Maybe I should have used heat, but I really don't like doing that. My car has seen very little if any rain and no winters.
