As I've been saying, the flywheel is really easy to remove once you get the transmission out. #shadetree

Getting parts together to do some badly-needed #shadetree work on one of the family cars. Fortunately, the flywheel is really easy to swap on this car once you get the transmission out.

Brakes on one corner running a bit hot. Considering new calipers, pulled the parking brake cables.. but all three seem just fine.
Unfortunately, one side has quite a bit of play in the parking brake shaft and the other has been leaking brake fluid into the adjuster area.
Guess next spring, will probably try my hand and rebuilding these myself. Until then, adjusted and put back together.
Good chance to deep clean the wheels while they were off.

When the taillight assembly is busted and you've got covid so you can't get to the junkyard but you're also originally from Outer Redneckistan so it's not a problem. #shadetree #mechanic

Tonight's "I almost got the AC fixed before the #heatwave" task seemed easy enough: remove the single 10mm bolt holding the clutch cover, remove the cover, take all the spacers out of it, and put it back. Getting to that 10mm bolt only took about two and a half hours though: the compressor is right up against the crumple zone for the bumper. Much creativity was required, as well as a great deal of swearing. But it's done and I didn't have to take the car to a proper mechanic to have the refrigerant recycled and remove the compressor so I'll call that a win. #shadetree things.

Shade tree (Landscape ecology 🏞️)
A shade tree is a large tree whose primary role is to provide shade in the surrounding environment due to its spreading canopy and crown, where it may give shelter from sunlight in the heat of the summer for people who seek recreational needs in urban parks and house yards, and thus, also protecting them from the sun's harmful UV rays. Some of the ...

This afternoon I decided to render the pretensioner from the busted seatbelt safe. Definitely the most fun I've had all day. #shadetree #auto

Looks like the missus's Pilot has an exhaust leak. Well, sounds like it does might be a more apt phrase.
I was really hoping all the noise was from the heat shield, which was split; but alas, got it out - but that was only a source of 'a lot of noise'.
Nothing is loose, I can't quite get in there to tell, but I really hope this is a gasket and not a bad cat. That sucker is expensive.
No time to driveway this, off to the muffler shop :(

I replaced the front brakes + rotors on my wife’s car (Mazda 5) the other day. The rotors really, really did not want to come off. A puller, air wrench, two torches, a sledgehammer, a Dremel, and a cutoff wheel all got in on the fun. Here’s what’s left.

For whatever reason, this year seems to have been *the* year for siezed calipers and worn brakes. Traded my #Volvo in with a siezed caliper, replaced siezed calipers on both the #Kia and #Miata (razzed up the whole brake system on that one), managed to free up a sticking rear caliper on a friends car, more rotors+pads besides. It's been .... "non-stop"?
