Hi all,

Well, so far in the last few weeks I have rebuilt my rear brake calipers an=
d proceeded to break a bleeder nipple off in the caliper.  I then broke an =
EZ out in the broken nipple.  $50 later from a machine shop and $2 for a ne=
w nipple and I was back in business.

Last January I bought a set of 4 strut inserts(KYB GR2), 4 stop/boot kits, =
and 2 new upper front strut mounts and decided it was time to put 'em in.  =
The first night I tried to tackle my drivers side front strut.  After I bro=
ke my ball joint/tie rod end separator (fork type) I should have called it =
a night, but I pressed forward.  After a trip to Autozone I bought a screw =
type pitman arm press (so far so good).  I then proceeded to break the lowe=
r caliper carrier bolt.  The rest of the job went flawlessly though.

Tonight, I did the passenger side, leaving the caliper carrier attached to =
the strut, and did it in 2 hours, no issues.  Fronts are done, 2 down 2 to =
go.

Is this fun or what???  I can not wait to see what the rear has in store fo=
r me.  What a difference the fronts have made though, I am excited to get t=
he rears done.
