Ok so today I replaced my alternator.. now to see if my battery still gets drained.... so it is recharging....
next lets move to my rear disc brakes..... I put a pad in backwards and it scored up the rotor... my mistake and I am proud to say it.... I did the job in the dark and rushed.... so I flipped the pad.... well lately the brakes sound REALLY LOUD!!! you know that hum drum brakes made... I thought maybe someone swapped my axle out for a drum brake setup..... J/K...
anyhow... took my tire off today then took the caliper off.. I removed the pad from the front of the rotor... however couldnt find the one that the piston pushes..... so I looked and looked.. then realized the piston on the caliper was ground up..... not too bad... so somehow I have put the pad in wrong and it fell out
I have done disc brakes since 1988 and NEVER had a problem... so I replaced the rotor and put new pads on and had someone re-check my work... phew.. hopefully it is good now....
just sucks that if I didnt have bad luck I wouldnt have any at all....
now gotta work on the clutch....
