started taking my door moldings off and tried figuring out how a hug T60 socket and a wrench are supposed to fit in between motor mount and oil filter adapter bolt to take it out but i might have a custom tool in mind

New front brake pads and resurfaced rotors.

I can't wait to break them in, though. The smooth resurfaced rotors and the new somewhat pads don't seem to get as much bite.

Sanded down my new (new to me) rims, and got them ready for some primer and some paint.

How do you re-balance with plastic BBs? How well do they stay on?

they go in the tire... so far it's been great. actually did it about 2 weeks ago... I put in 9oz per tire (calls for 8oz in a 33" tire) and it's better than when I had lead weights on...
