    Please tell LegArm that in my 40+ years of experience in house construction, it takes 90% of the time to complete the first 90% but an additional 90% to complete the last 10%

    That 318 may be bored but Bob never is boring. Actually had good luck with 318s in the 2 vehicles I owned with them. The engines went well over 200K with no major issues. In the rust belt all of the trucks of that year rusted away already. Stay safe and healthy.

    You are meant to remove the caliper separate and before removing the bracket. After the caliper is removed there is room to reach the bracket mounting bolts.

    I just changed out ball joints, a arm's, steering knuckle, tie rods, shocks, pads, rotors, sway bar bushings, stabilizer link's, coolant hoses, heater hoses, power steering lines and pump, plugs and wires, and the thermostat on my 05 ranger i got after my dad passed away in 2020. I still have to change out the fuel filter, brake hoses, new calipers, and i'll be glad it's done. I have a new belt and pulleys to throw on it as well. The truck was from south carolina originally, but it's in michigan now, and thankfully the only cancer was on the steering knuckles. I saved the knuckles, because with a good cleaning and paint they can be reused. I didn't feel like messing with restoring the steering knuckles in a cold garage, plus they were not that expensive. I used moog a arm's, and was disappointed the ball joints didn't come with grease fittings, they just don't make stuff as good as they used to. I decided to change the original brake hoses because i use the truck around town, and i didn't want to worry about the hoses collapsing because the truck is 18 year's old. I did the coolant hoses, because they were looking a little swollen. The shocks were pretty shot, should ride a lot nicer. I torqued everything down after getting the full weight of the truck on the suspension so i don't prematurely wear out the new bushings. I plan on doing a trans filter change over the summer, along with changing the diff fluid. It takes me longer than most people, because i have MS, and my whole left side the muscles have wasted to half the size of my right side. I can't feel my hand, which drives me nuts, but i figure out ways to get thing's done. I felt your pain with the busted fingers and knuckles, my hands took a few hits to lol. G-d bless all you Welker's.

Just want to let you know you can take the brake caliper off of the brake carrier and have access to the carrier bolts without removing the brake line. Also use an impact on your ball joint press, just oil the threads on the press first. Thnx for the great God centered content. I love it!!

    I can't begin to imagine how difficult farming is for you. The extreme weather conditions are simply insane. My family were cattle farmers in Namibia. We farmers in the most perfect part of the country with excellent, natural grazing and more than enough water for the cattle. Mild winters at about 13C, but a few hot summers months at 40C. Really easy compared to what you face. Respect!
