Ok, so my blowtorch idea didn't work...
What else is there to do?
Not kidding, I've tried almost everything, except taking the whole assembly off.
Any ideas are welcomed.
(even tried using a bigger hammer)

Ok, so 1 high (if you can call it that) heat propane canister torch, 1 can of pb 50, 2 bottles of water, and 4 busted fingers later and I got 1 of the keys out.
ONLY 1!!!!! arg!
I got the new rotor on, go figure... the calipers are rubbing on it now though.
so, once again more work for me tomorrow. ( my little helper disappeared!)
When I get around to it, I will get a picture of that lovely brake pad of mine....
Oh, and also, the bearings were so easy to do! I guess I made them look more complicated than they actually were, sweet
!

You know, if I still had my Air Compressor I would have gone out to Iowa and borrowed my Uncles tools. But my uncle took my compressor, to Iowa, oh and then to Florida. So I am not able to do that.
None of my friends are smart enough to work on cars, so they don't own anything fancy like that either haha!
Good advice though, I was thinking the same thing around the 3rd time I hit my thumb with the hammer.

I started my truck up this afternoon....puttered out first try, but second time it held an idle. Ran pretty darn choppy for a minute, but it smoothed out a bit. Carb is still is way out of whack though.
Oddly, I get no black smoke that I can tell, and I'm not getting the soot-leg you guys are talking about getting. lol
