A bent strut rod can pull the LCA forward messing up the alinement.

Curbing and potholes I guess

Bent strut rod is very common. Can't count how many I've tossed over the years. You said disc brake swap. What brakes are on it? Fixed caliper or floating?

Looks like he is just doing some shackle work. Tires are still on the ground.

Cool trick

Inspectors, engineers and non-paying customers are some of reasons I got out of it. That and my body was just getting to jacked up. Inspectors who thought they were god and you were in god's country Engineers who thought since they could put it on paper that it could be installed that way...

The NEC is chapter 70 of the National Fire Protection Association which has over 300 chapters. The NEC is a minimum requirement. The authority having jurisdiction can require more on top of it. My family was the 2nd largest EC in the state for a few decades and mainly did industrial and heavy...

Ya we those type of connection for larger branch circuits #8 and #6. Wire nut for #14, 12 and 10 gauge. Compression terminals for main circuits.

I started in the trade in 1980. Rewired many a house that had Knob and Tube. My grandfather was in the trade before they had electric drills and wired houses with Knob and Tube. Bored the holes with a brace and bit. That had to take forever.

Do you still solder your connections? Thats what we did 80 years ago before the wire nut was invented.:D

Yep wire nut tool. I never used one back in my EC days but it probably could prevent Carpal Tunnel over the course of 30-40 years. Wire nuts have been used safely for decades on branch circuits. Not used on main circuits. I have used those swivel screwin devices for switches and plates and what...

All depends on your climate. Here in the dry desert, yes we leave the windows cracked. In the wet states probably not. Next to the coast? Store inside otherwise your screwed.

Say away J-25 sealer. Everything eats through it. Did my slab with it and have totally hated it for the last 11 years.

I'll be looking into one of those. Drilling out over 250,000 welds over the last 10 years has taking its toll on my arms.

Some pretty cool ideas here.

Paul did you bleed the master cylinder first? Then start with the RR wheel, then LR, then RF and LF last? Heck I usually just gravity feed them but I too have tried most all of the methods..

Been using mineral spirits for decades. I get it from a local petroleum distributor. Take my own 5gal buckets and fill them from their fuel pump. Way cheaper.

Believe me, I've tried about everything to make this job faster and easier. Oil didn't make much difference for me. Oil and faster RPM still dulled the bits faster unless you keep a ton of oil on it. As you know oil is to cool the bit and drilling surface. I don't really get the bit very hot and...

The only time I use oil is on the rusty welds. I do drill really slow. Under 300 rpm. Like anything you just have to find what works for you. I found mine.

It is about the money with me. I drill over 20000 welds a year, every year. The Rotabroach cost 3 times as much as the hole saw style but they last 10 times longer. I used the hole saw type for a couples years because they cost less. I finally tried the Rotabroach and my frist thought was " what...
