If you don't have time to look up procedures on modern vehicles then you are a 2 bit hack that has no business working on modern vehicles. If your boss is the same way... get some training and find a new job because the shop won't be around long.

Largest, 496ci in a 71 Nova....smallest was a geo metro 998cc 3 cylinder

Well, that's like asking how long is a piece of string. There are many different designs out there....EPB calipers that use stepper motors, EPB calipers that use encoder motors to monitor brake pad wear, manual type parking brake calipers, and conventional calipers that are used with a...

If you can get the "good" moog stuff, it works well IF you grease it periodically. Moog has gotten a bad name lately not because the parts are trash, but because they have sintered metal bearings in their rod ends/ball joints/etc that require periodic service, while the OE parts in many cases...

No. High Carbon in itself doesn't really mean much....it was branding that was sort of adopted by everyone.... Rotor material fits into 2 basic catagories.....normal and soft. Your conventional rotor you'd find on an asian or domestic vehicle is going to be G3000 (or something similar)...

Try a different brand of shoes, and make sure they look different (different color, etc..). There are 3 or so factories that produce most of the shoes you see in the aftermarket....you want some from a different factory. Find some with a brown colored web/steel and try those, they'll be...

It about "pollution". Same reason the state of Washington started the whole initiative to reduce copper in brake pads back 15 years ago or so, and then CA followed suit. Typically, the domestic/asian vehicles utilize an adherent friction with a harder iron brake rotor, while the euros used a...

Audi started playing with low dust adherent friction material about 6 years ago and ended up with brake judder they had no idea what to do with....lol, like the Asian and Domestic OEMs that have been dealing with it for years. One can absolutely create the same amount of friction or better...

We used to sell china white box rotors to EBC

There's no corrosion or metallic wear that occurs in plastic clutch hydraulic systems, which is what contaminates the fluid. It stays pretty clean forever

No they're not

The floor jack has wheels....no? Every time I've jacked up a non-driven axle or any axle with the other end of the car chocked, the jack rolls to where it needs to without dragging the car. Squirt some lube on the jack wheel axles every 10 years or so and it helps it along some lol.

Depends on which type..... If you look at this link, https://www.skf.com/us/products/rolling-bearings/ball-bearings/deep-groove-ball-bearings/designation-system there are a whole lot of different seal types / designations, for different purposes and use with different lubes. I would suggest...

02SE is spot on with everything.

These are reman. Look around the mating surfaces for the bracket mounting holes....they've been used and blasted. Excellent looking remans though, with all OEM hardware and it would appear new pistons as well. Done correctly. These are certainly NOT some cardone garbage like you'd get...
