Like you say, that’s what is usually said about them.

There was a note saying it was sent without that coating, and yet their web page has a prominent warning about the coating needing to be cleaned out.

Glad your crash wasn’t like the other car that rolled. I looked at it a few times and thought maybe I could see the car bounce, so was thinking maybe that was what made the rear wheels let loose. Hard to tell. You would know better than I.

Brake cleaner on the pads and drums (avoid hub bearings) and a screwdriver to turn the star-wheel (adjusters) is all that it took to fix it. Fairly simple thing, DIY job, just not something you want to get wrong either so I won’t try to explain it.

I’ve loaded my hood compartment with so much stuff, I worry about the reservoir getting jostled by loose tools and container boxes.

Well, I must plead ignorance on the whole picture upload thing. Now that the forum has changed it\'s all different from how it was before the change. I guess newer members here won\'t know that we used to be able to choose a file on our computer/device and place it into a message post/reply. I\'m doing this one by going to ACTIVITY on the top of the web page and answering the \"What\'s new, (name)?\" then using the little camera+music note button just below this text box.
