Beating my drum
My s30 didn’t get much closer to being my daily driver this week. Our landlord thought it would be nice to surprise us with a new roof, and ours was torn off and strewn across our yard (and flowed seamlessly into my garage) so I couldn’t spend too much time working. I put forth a massive effort to remove my rear drum brakes though, and they seem to be completely seized to the wheel hubs, and stubbornly refuse to budge. It looks like I’ll have to cut them off, and I’m not really looking forward to it. That means replacing them.
If you’ve upgraded your rear drums to a disk setup and don’t mind parting with them, please let me know. I’m still shooting for this car to be driving on public roads by the end of the month.
the torch, it did nothing?
