DONE!!!!!!
...only took 4 days...
1 new rotor.
1 new caliper.
1 new set of brake pads
2 cans of brake cleaner
2 cans of pb50
2 bottles of propane
4 books of matches
1 lighter
1 bottle of brake fluid
100 cuss words
1 fractured thumb
and 1 fractured index finger later, and I have new brakes!
and no, it doesnt pull hard to either side.
I was doing 50, slammed on the brakes, and it stayed straight and true.
I'll get pics later.

I hope he sent the other member his merchandise.
I sent him something for free once and he sent me a couple of messages wanting to know if it had been shipped or lost. I can only imagine how upset anyone would be if they had paid for an item and never received it. I notice he did not respond to that persons post yesterday either.

My internet is killing me!
I might have pictures up tomorrow, none for tonight.
They aren't all that interesting either, so it's no big deal.
1 is of the new rotor, and old caliper. That was before I was pretty much forced to get the new caliper.
The other is a picture of why I ultimately decided to get a new rotor....
So expect that tomorrow sometime

Pictures as promised.
New rotor, old caliper.
This was before I had made the decision to get a new caliper. Next picture will explain why.
This is the brake fluid that came out of the caliper.
The pistons were not compressing, so I removed them to drain them of fluid, and get them down easier. When I turned it over, this thick, sand and dirt filled concoction came out. At first I didn't care, then after an hour or so I decided I HAD to get a new caliper for fear of that being the reason the old one ruined the rotor/pads so fast.
35 Dollars later, I had a new caliper. In all the excitement, I forgot to take a picture.
If there were not 8 lug nuts on there, I would go and take one for you guys now, but I hate the 8 lug thing, so yeah. that will come later.
