Unfortunately I do not currently have a wire brush (didn't see a hand held one when I was at the store) but I did liberally coat the inside mounting surfaces of the new rotors with anti seize (the outside has a coating but not the inside ) |

Ordered a wrap for the car. Just doing the hood, roof, and trunk lid in a geometric pattern. There are so many DGM cars out there I want mine to look a little different. I am also filling in my OE spoiler holes, so now I don't need to paint it, just primer.

The pin itself is metal at the end but has a ribbed plastic sleeve for about 1" near the tip. Found a picture of a similar one (no hex portion on ours, just 2 flats) Piston boots and guide pin boots were good; metal clips for guiding the pads were replaced and greased. I've done a number of brake jobs on a number of vehicles. That's part of what makes it so frustrating when a simple job like replacing brake rotors and pads becomes a long drawn out pain. I think I now prefer the setup I had on my german cars; pins are screwed into the caliper bracket and the caliper glided on the pins as opposed to this setup where the pins are bolted to the calipers and the pins glide on the mounting bracket. No way for air/grease/etc to get stuck inside the glide hole. |

Now I got what you meant, and I never saw a similar failure, with the grease loosing their properties to a point that becomes a impediment for the guide pin to bottom (i would expect the grease to move and create space). Whenever I have to rotate the tires, I will take a look on those brakes (I think those are Tokico’s, but need to verify). See if they have anything unusual. Two flats on guide pin is not ideal… |

Installed a Garmin Catalyst. Sometimes I think the Garmin discount I get is a curse. Makes me buy to many Garmin things.

From traveling for funerals, vacation, field work, buying a house and living in general I’ve neglected installing the Edelbrock unit I bought in May(?). Taking a couple days off to do it leisurely. Installed a new led unit in my garage to work w.

Holy crap... you can't possibly begin to convince me that you can see ANYTHING at night time. Especially in CO roads. On top of that, this HAS to be illegal or I'll be mind blown. I guess on the positive side, the BRZ LED's are bright as hell, and may do a decent job of helping you see something...
