Playing what?!

I played mechanic today!
Replaced all my rotors and brakes except for one rotor. One freaking bolt beat my butt.
Will wind up taking my truck to a shop to get that one blasted bolt removed in order to replace that darn rotor.
Pretty proud of myself. First time for everything.

 Sounds like a impact driver may help your bolt situation? It's fairly cheap tool and doesn't take up much space in tool box. Of course the Ole cutting torch is always my go too for stubborn bolts and such. Makes me glad I bought all my tools back in the day, they still come in handy. It's nice to be able to fix things yourself. Also a little anti seize on threads as you reassemble it, and next time they usually come apart easier.

I am actually thinking cutting is a great option! the head of the bold was starting to round off. Been kinda crazy so will work on it again this coming weekend.
Today it was changing out my alternator and battery.
Next weekend may also look like the transfer case.

 My kind of woman......

Maybe you had need of an impact wrench or a bigger hammer for the fourth one.

The impact started to round the head of the bolt. Torching it this weekend!

 Absolutely impressed with your determination and independence Shy !! You probably already know.... but have you tried to heat that last bolt with a blow torch ? Sometimes that works !! But be careful where you're shooting the flame.

Other than that.... I sure love your looks here.... you got me wishing, throbbing and dreaming for real !! Happy weekend ahead !!


shykyttn51 replies on 10/23/2023 10:53 pm:
Thank you! I switched out all 4 and that one blasted bolt!
I cant say im very good but at the least im definitely learning!
Switched out the alternator and battery today, the problem bolt will be this weekend and the fun part of a new transfer case this coming we4ekend or the next. Still not sure about that job as yet.
Boy howdy! I ever get this Beast back to where she should be, just bury me in her!
