I pulled one of the wheels off the car using the new socket set, breaker bar, and jack I bought last week. My plan was to jack up the car using the lift point under the very front of the frame, then put a jack stand under the one behind the front wheel, then jack up the rear of the car using the one under the tow anchor, then put another jack stand under the one in front of the rear wheel. That way, I could rotate the tires while doing the brakes, and jack stands seem like a better idea while working than the jack itself. There’s good news and bad news. Good news — I don’t see any T40 fasteners anywhere around the brakes, so I don’t think I need to go buy one of those afterall. Bad news — the new jack is just shy of tall enough when fully extended on the front lift point to get the front tire off the ground, so it looks like I’ll be returning that $20 jack set for a slightly taller version.
FedEx says the rotors and pads are out on the truck for delivery so I hope to get those today. I’d much rather try this job on the weekend than after work!
