Good spot there, maciej21xxx. The Michelins have now been changed for Continenal. Much softer and grippier.

A nicely done video! You may want to stick the needle nose through the eye of the cotter pin, it comes out with more control.

You put the spring plate on upside down but it doesn't really matter.

Next video, show us how you take the caliper off because of those stupid anti squeal plates.

Good job on this one!

As far as how I manage to stay calm, I attribute that to my bad Karma, yes , Karma. I'm sure I messed some one up in the past, may be not 14000$'s worth, but everything come back with interest , you know.

THe mechanic told me he could flush the cooling system, put it back together and I could sell it to the next fool. But i refuse to do that. I don't want to loose half a Million in 10 years.

I bought it from a lady. So no chance of bustin any heads open , LOL. She had maintained pretty well. I got the maintenance records from the shop where she had it worked on for the past 2 years. In 24 months she spent, ready for this?? 15000$ on the car. I nearly fell out of my seat when I saw that. All sorts of things too, fans, coolers, cam shaft, head gasket, tires, you name it.
