Thanks Glenn,i really do appreciate it. To be honest im way past being over this deal. Its killing me that clifford is in pieces yet im not able to work on him. Im getting close and got the rear bumper and shocks on tonight. I started removing the front rotors. I got them ready to come off but one caliper is stuck. I attempted to get it apart and try to salvage it to no avail. I guess tomorrow i will try to get all the wheels and tires to an old friend to use his tire machine.

All this and at 5:00 today my boss called and let me know ill be in chicago all next week for work training...ugg not helping my cause...

That never works LOL

How are you dismounting and mounting your tires? I assume it is a manual situation at home...

For that many tires... yeah, that would rough. I've only had to do 4 at a time which isn't too bad if they're larger tires (sidewalls) and you have a couple of good tire irons. Plus it's a useful skill to have when this happens...
