What tha? Could anything else go wrong?
Time to rant. Cursed VR4?
So I got my Wheel Hubs and Bearings in the other day and decided I would put them in. So I drove 2 blocks down the road to get the Pins and was trailed by the cops and pulled over... Mind you this is like the only time I have drivin my car since i got it. Well turns out the plate my brother put on the car goes to nothing (?) and so the cop took it and wrote me a citation and such... real fun stuff. Well I get the pins and grind it to the shop behind my house. I print off a guide from Wiki just incase ...Well I dont have an Impact so I have to do everything by cheater bar and such. I get the Passenger side wheel off and then can't get the Rotor off... its stuck and the thread holes have 0 threads left so can't thread in a bolt and push them off... so I take my rubber mallet and go crazy.... Nothin! So I decide to do the other side. Well everythings coming along nicely cept for everything being seized up REALLY bad. The Rotor practically falls off and eventually I get the hub off and put start the new one on. Well the Tie rod end thread magically shreaded and the lock nut won't go back on. So i have to drive to the store and buy a new one, and with gods luck get the lock nut to break over with jumping on it. Finally get it all back together. My friend was still smashing the rotor on the other side with the rubber mallet the whole time and it still won't budge. Well its getting late so I figure I'll save the bad hub for tomorrow. Well one of the Caliper Pistons seize and I cant get the Caliper back on the Rotor... So we try for like 2 hours with a clamp and everything else and it won't budge. So finally I give up. Come back this morning pull the Caliper off, shove the wheel back on tighten it down and drive back to my house using 0 brakes what so ever.
Right now when i look out my window at my (new) VR4... I just feel like I'll neva get it back on the road! Ugh. Well I ordered new rotors, brake pads, and calipers and I have less than 0 money left. And I just hope that when it all comes in, I hope to god everything goes atleast kinda right. Thanks for listening to my LONG rant. Have a great day...
