2000 GC - Time for new brakes
Guest
Posts: n/a
Just swapped my summer tires back on my car.
Apparantly in the midst of moving on New Year's Eve, I forgot to
re-torque the lugs after having a flat fixed at Canadian Tire.
(broke it down, cleaned the bead, and plugged a puncture)
They either banged those lugs on with the impact, or torqued them a hell
of a lot tighter than the 90ft/lbs I use... just I almost pulled my back
out getting that one wheel off....damn thankfull SWMBO didn't have to
change a flat on that wheel alone on a dark road....

So your shop parking lot is like an off road test area? In
Kalifornia it never rains, but we still have paved parking lots.

in the winter our lot doesn't get plowed much and it thaws and refreezes and gets
just like a 2 trac sometimes and our bac 40 is a small woodlot with fresh new piles
of dirt so we have a small test course
