My name is Earl, and I have a Stainless Steel bolt fetish =)

Just ordered my rotors from Adams Rotors. I cannot wait to see the quality and I hope they last a long time.
I need to pull together another parts list to combine with the front hub order. I will take care of that this weekend. I cannot wait to have both hands again=)

You're so HANDY Earl!!!

Didn't get much of anything done on the compact this weekend but I do have pictures.
My friend wasn't able to make it out to work on the bay so I decided to just quick stop by Sunday.
I got this guy installed:
I also rounded up a few things I want to get powdercoated:
The dust shields are coming off of the knuckles because they are shot and I won't have much use for them=)
I also took some pictures of being aired out on the 15's. It just looks funny with how sunk they are.

Looking good as usual Earl!

I stopped out at the shop Sunday hoping to do a bit of work but it was way too cold. I grabbed my calipers and front knuckles to pull apart at work this week.
I am in the middle of breaking down the knuckles and will be doing the calipers sometime this week. The 46mm nut on the knuckles is going to be a fun one. It is supposed to be on at 221 ft/lbs.
I am breaking this all down in preparation for powder and new hubs. I need to find some rebuild kits for the calipers since I am splitting them. Has anyone found a good place? I have been told Autozone and will be calling them after work for pricing.

I started with the knuckles by removing my Motorsport Hardware studs.
As you can see, they have been around the block a few times.
I then tapped the safety tab out on the nuts and removed them.
The inner race was left behind.
I thought it would be hard to remove but I was able to slide it off with two screwdrivers underneath.
I removed my ABS sensors next since the ABS is deleted.
I also removed the dust shields and threw them in the trash.
They were now ready for some cleaning.
I taped up the spindles to keep them from being damaged by the sandblasting.
I then got them as clean as I could and ready for powder.
The next thing to tackle are disassembling and prepping the calipers and carriers.
