What’d you work on today?

[Shovelrick]

This is Rock auto for front rotors & ceramic pads, rear ceramic pads $172.87 but won’t be here till Thursday which I guess is ok but I’d rather do this tomorrow, already lost a weeks work from this damn head ? Cold, OReilys is $247.82 OTD and in stock, ceramic pads too, I haven’t checked anywhere else yet

When I did brakes a couple years ago for wife's Equinox, Amazon was best price due to free shipping.

Problem is for me Amazon orders are often late, and the 2 day shipping is almost always 3 or 4 days.

4-5 years ago 2 day was 2 day. Sometimes for me it seems like 2 days once it's shipped but lot of times it doesn't ship for 3-4 days.

We have 90% chance rain here tomorrow and I'll have to do this Outside so now I'm thinking it wont matter if I wait a day or 2 or ? for shipping, I'll chk Amazon

Has RA done away with their ridiculous shipping where your various parts could potentially come from 4 different warehouses and you’d get charged a separate shipping charge for every warehouse?

When I ordered my parts a few days ago I didn’t see the usual “a,b,c,d” warehouse designation.




With the dust seal installation tool got my calipers rebuilt.

This don’t look bad with 4 rotors, I better measure center hole on rear

I think I’m ordering from Amazon, been awhile since I ordered from RA but don’t remember any shipping issues

There's a tool for that??? Please post a pic, those are a bitch to install..... without one, but it's the only way I've done it. Doh!!!
Not sure if RA still ships like that, but I've found most all my stuff at Summit, they've really expanded their "inventory". Free shipping over $100.

 

[Shovelrick]

I almost pulled the trigger on these but I’ll look on Summit first

That's a low review rating Rick, I'd review those reviews.

Shit just ordered them, 3 of the 4 reviews are 5 star, 1 said missing some hardware and grease?

 

[cheveslakr]

You're fine. Did Summit have them?

The $30 pads had to come from mfg’er in March, same front brakes Powerstop for about $10-15 less than Amazon but I want them by Mon so ordered from Amazon and I’ll get rear pads locally, Funny I know someone with a brake lathe but can’t remember who so I’ll take the rear rotors to Fla Brake & Clutch for turning

 

[Shovelrick]

Reminds me I’ve been wanting to buy a wheel bearing grease packing tool so back to Amazon, this was Summit for the PS front set

 

[Shovelrick]

Probably a Dumb question but I’m not sure if the new rotors come with new wheel bearings, prob not, should new bearings & races be installed? Last year I put Wilwood Dynaforged front brakes on the Chevelle but it was a kit with bearings and been years since I’ve changed rotors before that so really not sure about bearings, I’m guessing it’s a good idea and use good bearings like Timken or equal, Everytime I type Good on this iPhone it corrects to hood

Your van uses slip on rotor. You just have to remove the caliper bracket to remove and install the rotors. No bearings involved at all.
