Ok here is a pic of the piston.




And here is a better pic of the wheel Jay. I am positive it is connected to the suspension. The only way to get the wheel of, it seems, is to remove the whole dang suspension system.

I gaurantee that shaft will come out without removing the whole thing Cory. Just need to unbolt all the "stuff". Maybe we can work out something where I can run up there in the near future.

If you think so. Well if you want, I am off the 16th, 17th and 18th. Otherwise home on weekends by 1600 or 4:00 for you people with broken clocks. I can wait till the GTG too.

Hey Jay, I think this is the part the wheel is connected to.

Neat is a weak word for them. Spectacular, powerful, unique, those are better words.

Cory, I'd start looking for a different caliper, that one is toast. The piston is close to $60 by itself(with a new seal.

As far as the wheel goes, I can't tell by the pics if it is attached to the cross shaft that has the lower shock mount or not.

I dont know if I will do that, I might wing it. I don't know how much money I want to sink into it.
