great job glatt!

when you had to brace the rotor to pull the new studs in, why not put the transmission in park?

and Brian, all you need is the hex socket and you're good to go. but if you're going to replace the rotors i recommend repacking the bearings (see page 1 to do it neatly, ok, well....less messy.)

eta: and even better job teaching your son how to wrench early on. i grew up watching and helping my dad and it helped tremendously.

i have a bad vent solenoid on my chevy now....i almost tackled it last weekend. this sucker looks like a royal pain in the ass because it's so cumbersome. not big, just awkward. it's long and snaky.

anyone have experience doing this one? i've read on a few forums that you can remove the solenoid and blow it out with an air hose and have it work fine....i'm wondering if cleaning the filter at the top of the vent line would do it?
