BBR's 83GT - 552 BBF version 3.0 (at least)

[BBR]

Old axle is out and brakes/hubs are installed on the new one! Just need to bolt the new one back in, bleed the brakes and put the wheels back on it!

When I switched the 7.5 to an 8.8 on the Capri I left the brakes on the car by tieing them up and not a drop of brake fluid was shead!

[BBR]

I have done the same thing on the Mustang, but the way these brake lines are set up, they have to come apart in order to swap them to the other axle. Bleeding then should be no biggie though.

[BBR]

New axle is in. Just need to bleed the brakes and take it for a test spin. Now if I could just get this stupid wisdom tooth to stop hurting!!!!

[DanStokes]

I know a bar where you can get that tooth removed for free. Just look for a huge number of Harleys. Walk in and shout "I hear all you bikers are Faggots". Tooth removed, problem solved. You're on your own for the nose job, though.

The wisdom of Dan.

Dentists are pretty adept at fixing those issues as well.......though mine had me looking like a chipmunk for a week back in high school after cutting all 4 of mine out at once. I simply didn't have any room for them, so they came out before they broke thru.

I remember interrupting the dentist to request a sharper scapel. For some reason I don't remember anything else after hearing "you were right, this one cuts much better". Must have turned up the gas at that point so the PIA patient would shut up?

[DanStokes]

That happened during one of my eye surgeries. I was cracking wise and I saw the surgeon point downward, I assume toward the anestheologist. Didn't remember anything else 'till I woke up in the recovery room. I thought I was VERY clever! Guess the doc had no sense of humor.

Dan, there are a lot of teeth to get through before you get to this one. I think I'll pass!

Doc has me set up with some pain meds, and they work ok most of the time.

I'm ready to have some free time to start pulling the old engine apart!!!!!

[Beagle]

here's my thoughts on Vicodin, Beer, and anything mechanical or electrical...

Write down every single thing you touched so you can go check it again when you're back on earth. Hope it gets better for you. Anything that close to the brain just seems to hurt worse.

Disc brakes? Cool!

[BBR]

These pain pills do not make me goofy. A little sleepy at times, but not loopy.

Bled the brakes and bolted the wheels on! It's good to go!

[DanStokes]

Might want to rethink that! I can see from here that you have the right wheel on the left and vise-versa. Also, the high speed spoiler on the right side of the trailer is deployed at what seems to be zero speed - that ain't right, either.

Appears Dan's been into his meds today.....




That said, are you going to connect the clean areas of the concrete? Looks like mine when I break out the pressure washer, only my CDO kicks in and I have to make it all match.

[BBR]

It's weird that the "clean" looking spots show up in the pic. Not sure they actually exist! Jonathan came and picked up the trailer this evening so he could start getting loaded for his trip to SEMA. That's gonna be one heck of an adventure. Can't wait to see updates from him all next week.
