Resuming the brake line install tonight. Not in a rush to get it all done in one night.
What are you working on today?
- Thread starter Amkeer
- Start date
Good on her
Rented some heavier gear - bobcat skid steer with a grapple. Nice piece of equipment.
Moving the big rocks from field to the yard pre-gravel. (glad I had them - have you ever priced rocks? Ridiculous)
Planted some trees and shrubs arranged new companion plants.

2010 Nissan Juke rear brake job. A bit rushed since I told my coworker 3-4 hours to complete. Didn't do full bed-in (akebono specifies no bed-in needed) and complete brake fluid change since it would push the completion time 6 hours.
Finished the brake job on the civic. replaced rear lines, wheel cylinders, emergency brake cables. When I was bleeding the brakes yesterday pedal was spongy. Needed to bleed the master cylinder today and once that was done, gravity bleed all the lines. Went and road tested it this afternoon and went and cleaned up the garage when I got home.
Well new tires go on today....hopefully...I haven't driven my 2014 since the allen wrench stuck in the tire. At almost 90,000 miles it was due. I have to take all 4 wheels off and bring them in. I will also be changing the TPMS on all 4 wheels. Going back with the Nitto Trail Grapplers since they have performed well. Wish me luck!
I drive Toyotas too, but I maintain mine. Remind me to never buy a used Toyota from this guy.
4 TPMS sensors, Front Lower Control Arms and an oil change for the in-law’s 2008 Camry V6. @nthach came by to say hello and also helped.
The side engine mounts have to be removed in order to replace the control arms. One of the control arm bolts is blocked by the engine mount. Unfortunately, removing the engine mount on the driver side means you will need to drop the front portion of the subframe (a little bit) in order to allow for removal.

Today, finish the tailgate repair on the truck. Install rear bilstein shocks. and replace the rear axle vent hose. Then oil change.
Interesting how much larger the bushing and mount are on the bilstein vs the gabriel ultra.

I installed a JLT oil catch can on my 2019 Tacoma. Easy, but my hand barely reached the manifold hose nipple. Nice compact unit with a perfect empty bolt hole waiting to be filled (for the hanger bolt). It's a bit expensive, but absolutely plug and play.

Took the Escape to the Ford Quick Lane.
Roughly $50 to change oil and rotate tires.
Salesman recommended new rear wiper (says torn), and cabin filter, and air filter. $175 for all services.
I pass on all those services, and check the rear wiper when I get to the car. Sure enough torn. Feel good that the dealer was being honest about that, so I order all three items from rock auto for like $30.
Install all three items in 30 minutes. Cabin filter was clean, and engine air filter had some dust on it, not bad at all.
Thanks quick lane.

A little late in the season but my mountain bike.
Fairly easy fix! You gotta love that.
