Day 1
I begin work at like 1 or two. I drained the oil from the pan, filter housing, and oil drain housing. I unbolted the downpipe first. Then worked on getting the oil feed line loose. In short, I broke it. But at least it's off. Then unbolted the manifold. Morale was pretty high since I knew what I was doing. I undid the coolant lines and it gushed out like a waterfall.

Damn OEM calipers!

Posted 10-06-2008 at 09:21 AM by viprez586
Well to start i knew my rear caliper was seized up or sticking, at first i thought it was the pins, after driving 200 miles on and off it didn't get any better after greasing the pins.

Rebuild time!...
