I think thats what he is calling a prop shaft
Yes, front driveshaft.
Thx!
Yeah - they billed me for an hrs worth + tax. I about laughed in his face, but couldn't break those bolts free. I've seen the pictures and all y'all with the bolts with all the room are lucky. I was SOL. :shrug:
What was different about yours ? as far as room
I couldn't get a socket all the way around them. Only had a tiny box wrench I could get on there. So I thought... was moreso to do with the angle and lack of a 1' 3/8" drive extension after seeing the mechanic attack it.
I think mine did the 1' long extension. I can't remember if I reduced down to a 1/4" drive extension at the end to save even more space.

i definitely used a 1/4" socket. 3/8" didn't fit.
On the front driveshaft 8 mm socket, with 2 inch long extension and then adapter for 3/8 inch ratchet

I had kind of a long day driving here and there today. When I got home, I found the final skid plate from Skid Row had arrived. It goes in front of the other two already installed and this one will protect that fragile front differential. Can't wait to get it installed and break it in.
Replaced the right rear caliper. Was a breeze. Pinched the line with cardboard and vice grips. Barely had to add any fluid and bleeding it was super easy. Thanks for the tip don't remember who posted it about pinching the line.

Never pinch the rubber brake lines,can cause the inner liner to separate and restrict flow.
Good thing I have replacements coming in today/tomorrow.

New timken wheel bearing and moog upper ball joints. Took me about 3.5 hours. Had some rust to fight. During it noticed my end link on the right side is toast so I ran down to napa inbetween sides and picked up a new one. Ran out of time though so I will get to that another day. I will try to get an alignment next week as this weekend is family packed. (Don't worry not driving it and I'll take the bike to work on sunday)

Gave her a bath and slapped a coat of plasti-dip on the rims from some old cans I had laying around. Sooner or later I'll get them powder coated, but for now this works ha

Duly noted, however, in case you hadn't seen the previous few posts, this started with a "I changed my discs, pads, and parking shoes today" post, and there were a few extra posts afterwards when I noticed a problem.
To note: 3 pages of posts after mine was about someone with a vibration... so... it's not like I did anything everyone else isn't doing on a very regular basis.
Yeah,.... I should have taken that whole adventure into its own post. I almost went through the entire primary checklist.
