Good morning Cory, Troy, Jim.
Funny story Cory. NOT! So, as I was trying to loosen the both on the left rear shock the breakers bar swung up and tapped the brake line right at the distribution block on the axle and cracked the line. Go me!
So it was actually about 1-1/2 evenings for the shocks and another 1-1/2 for the brake lines back there. What a fiasco. Finally finished about 10:45 last night.
The lines needed to be replaced as they were severely corroded but still not what I wanted to tackle when under a time crunch. And now my batteries seem to be taking a crap.
