Jim,

Try ECS Tuning. I've used them many times for parts.

Hey guys,

While surveying my brake needs, I noticed my left front CV boot is split and
leaking grease.....I noticed Blau has a $99 refurb kit for the outer cv
joint.  Anyone just do the boot while it is still on the car?  Or do I need
to take the whole axle off to R&R the cv boot?  Not hearing any clicking or
anything, so I think the joint is still fine.  BTDT appreciated.....or other
suggestions.

As far as brakes go, where can I get good old fashioned OEM parts made in
Germany, instead of some of this aftermarket "who knows where it came from"
crap.  All I want is some OEM rubber brake lines, decent pads with the
sensors, and maybe some rotors......BTW does anyone resurface rotors
anymore?  Mine have plenty of life left, but have a ridge at the top.  Can I
grind that off to make r&r easier?  

Can anyone suggest any of the brake caliper retraction tools to make the job
easier?  How about a pressure bleeder?  Harbor freight?  Thanks!

As always, thank you for the insight.

Best regards,
