Yeah, about time. You got any hair left. The best part is putting it back together, it should be a snap.

I actually thought the tool had snapped when the spindle finally let go....made a huge "POP"...scared the crap out of me. Big Johns comment about Chinese tools didn't make me feel too good either......shrapnel all in face, great. Anyhow looks like everything is on hand except for the MC and spindles..which should've shipped last week. Those rotors weight a ton....each!

everyone should have to do this at least once in their life. it should be taught in school.

Just don't think that's something you want to tinker with in your retirement.
It ain't fun. Do it while you're young.

Did you get the Spindle Nut Package Dorman 04990?
Just a FYI - The New Dust Caps will be a SOB to fit on simply because they're new...

My spindles did not ship yet (they were supposed to last week). So I guess I'll just go ahead and disassemble the driver side...still got more stuff coming from RA as well.
This time.... Back the brake adjuster off so the drum comes off easier.

You're an expert now, you should everything off in 15-20 mins!

Yep. I hope the dvr side drum doesn't hassle me like the pass side did.
