I didn't have to change the brake rotors afterall. The old rotors were in great shape, as were the pads. RCC was worried because there's a bit of a chatter when braking, but it appears that it's the anti-lock brakes causing the chatter, not the rotors. Can't do anything about the anti-locks.
However, Bill did manage snag some pictures of me getting my hands dirty while working on the B*tch (yes, that's her name, because she does all the bitch work).
Checking for warping...
There was a little lip on the rotor that we sanded off
Personal torture training is paying off
Yup, standing flat-footed, this is as far in the engine compartment as I can reach.
Couldn't reach the hood without standing in the bumper brackets.
So, I had to settle for only getting 2/3 of the windshield clean. It's all I could reach.

While I'm impressed with your car fixin skilz... I'm grinning that Bill was standing back taking these shots of ya :)
That's one big b*tch. Now go get that hay!
*coughcough* gotta do what i used to do Diva and open the truck door, stand inside the cab, and lean over the wind shield to wash it off ;) Even w/ a bit more reach than you I still have to have that extra boost.
Makes me miss having a BIG truck! Course, I dont miss the BIG fuel bill right now..lol
When I was young(er) and had a simple car (a VW... they don't get much more basic than that) I used to love doing 'work' on it and getting dirty and greasy. Now they are just too complicated (oh, and big!)
LOL Love your post! You go, Girl!
