    How did it turn out? Still shifting? I have a 2000 SS so wondering if it will be the same as it looks like you have a LT1? But great video. Love how you did this for the first time and really put a lot of thought and approached it like a total pro. When the first video came on and you said first timer, I thought it would be great as I will be likely trying this for my first time? What was the overall all costs? I’m planning a turbo build so bought my car as a project and I’ll be damned if I let anyone but myself ruin it 😂. But great great great video. I truly appreciate the time and detail you put into this.

  • @tomyutz1950
    @tomyutz1950 2 місяці тому

    The caliper slide pins are one source of the creaking noise but not usually the primary cause. The main reason for creaking is usually dry movement between the brake piston on the brake pad and the caliper on the brake pad. That’s why a lot of the better brake pads have a shim between the brake pad and the caliper or piston.

    Anytime you replace a caliper, you do not just replace the one. If you are replaced the passenger side, then you should replace the driver's side as well. Same goes for the rear. If you do the left, you should do the right. That way, you have equal power on Both sides.

    I used (2) 3/4 rachets with 21mm sockets. On the back used a 3 inch extension laying the end of it facing the front . Use your hand over the fuel hose filler to prevent damage to the hose. Standard 3/4 with 21mm with a pull handle on the front side . Take your time and go over the hose and going through the fender brace . Engage the nut and lay the rachet over the hose until your set on the front to start the pull.

    Any time you connect a battery, you should always connect the positive FIRST then connect the NEGATIVE. That way it don’t spark when connecting. The same would apply here. Connect the positive to the battery and TAP the NEGATIVE . NO SPARK that way hence no flames or flame throwing.

Man castration got nothing on some good ole injector cleaner lubricating your balls with the devil's fkn fire. Dipped my balls in a full bucket of water n let me paint a picture in your mind, if you see lava flowing into the ocean n it looks as if it never gonna cool down, that's injector cleaner on your nutz! No amount of water seemed to work, after sitting there on that bucket with my ballz hanging down for like 40 minutes, i had to run for a few blocks of ice and the ice was like throwing gas on a camp fire. Trust me, when using this shit, cover up your eyes and your nuts!
