Not yet, but I hope that will soon be the case. He knows how to jack up the car and change a tire.

I wear the gloves because I have a desk job and my hands are not hard or calloused and I bleed very easily when I do jobs like this. Always bashing my knuckles against something. Also to keep them clean. But to be honest, I think it's mostly because I still have etched in my memory that scene from the opening credits of The Incredible Hulk when David Banner is changing a tire in the rain and the wrench slips and he bashes his knuckles against the pavement.

Ha Ha, I knew it was him.
Gloves are safety equipment, which always explains itself.

Good job. I will be doing the brakes on my Avalanche soon, only all around since it is five years old now and they are the original pads. I am betting they are all worn since I am beginning to hear squealing.

I really hope I don't need special equipment to do them, like my Cougar needed.

In hindsight, I wish I had changed them all, it was so easy.

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?

Before you do that, do a little hooning through a field of clover or alfalfa. It won't make it easier but the crap falling in your face will taste better.

That's the nice thing about a truck though, you can just crawl under there.

I went down to check the property that I used to lease. They are logging it and will be through in 2 weeks. I might do another lease. While I was there I managed to hang up my Tracker on a log. I had Addie with me, so I taught her to drive a manual in 4L while I lifted the rear end. This will be an experience both of us will never forget. LOL. BTW, all pics are by Addie since she is the better photographer
