Thank you so much you all. This is my greatest birthday present ever for being allowed to be the member of the best forum. I haven't had this great warm feeling like this for a long, long time. Much and much mahalo all for being so kind and thoughtful

You'd be a rich man Ben if you knew my first ex wife. 3cars fcucked in 2 years.

1. Driving witout oil
2. Driving without water
3. Can't even remember but it was painful

And much mahalo to you for all your help.

@looie - I know you are a great detective, but I thought homicide was more your bag. How did you foind out Ben's occupation????

[benbryant]

I think the reason why the people in Middle East like riding camels instead of driving cars: no need oil and no need to fill water every day. We should give camels to our wives too. Less headache for sure

i was wondering how you change wheel cylinders on a 99-03 grand am? what do you use for the 2 mounting bolts on the backing plate? if you recall they are like a external torx bolt and are about 4 mm away from the strut/knuckle assembly....1/4" box-end works good, but you'll never get a socket on there--impossible.

[Furiousg]

You need an "E8" straight external torx wrench. Those bolts are a pain in the howza.

[LT. Columbo]

that's what you use? it's really sickening because you can't even back the bolt out unless you pull back the wheel cylinder....
