But the parts...

One benefit, I guess, downed rig saves gas. 91 min octane to boot for the sidewinder. I think it is $4.49.999999 gal here in SO Cal

Replaced rear brake pads and calipers.

Decided against new backing plate for now…

Replacing the first of the rear brake cylinders, with the "usual" flailing around. Confirmed my suspicions that I didn't assemble the auto-adjuster with the correct spring orientation 3 years ago, so I'll be correcting that. The hard line was VERY difficult to get to start threading into the new cylinder, until I figured out that I needed to leave it (the cylinder) very loose until the fitting got started in. Making it harder the fitting doesn't spin free on the end of the brake line. Now that that is together, I just need to get the shoes put back on - it was getting dark and I couldn't see the square root of fuck-all, so I'll get that together tomorrow.

At first glance, I thought you got a new Jeep Gladiator and it came with a matching stove.

Unrelated question. Do you by chance still have the sw bumper for sale?

Until Cali lets them loose again. I wonder if they get sanctuary city status.

My 04' LJ rear brakes looked much different than his pic he posted. You got screwed too?

 

[Harold&Cat]

My 04' LJ rear brakes looked much different than his pic he posted. Did I get the special edition?

I believe mine look just like the picture . Looks like a picture looking down from the top , passenger side .

I feel your pain. I have disc brakes that have pads and calipers, not shoes.
