The trouble with that is the fingers don't feel so good later once they begin to warm up again!

Slowly but surely I trudge down the road of life, still lost and no further than I was the day before. Get to do the calipers also, glad it's on the trailing axle, to bad for me the calipers are the ebrake too.

Heads up on these newer gm rear calipers on disc brake trailing axles, the caliper doesn't get pressed in with a c clamp like normal. You need to turn them clockwise, pliers are supposed to work.

I didn't know that, but I also don't work on GM's, I'm always worried they might be contagious.

You know you don't want to catch a GM. You will end up in intensive care for sure.

Oh hey but wasn't the weather ever gorgeous today. Some snow in the morning, with highs around -12. Sure beats Friday Saturday and Sunday's weather!

Was well on the plus side of the scale today. This all means that I have to wash the truck all the time. And life just keeps chugging along with you or without you.
