Who said I couldn't be a mechanic? I got the damn wheels
off after only three trips to SEARS ...

Brooks ...

I have changed exactly two tires in my entire
driving experience until I took these two off, so
yeah, I guess you could say I had "limited" experience.

I was kinda busy raising kids and fighting wars back in '65
so I missed out on my "hot-rod" years. BUT I am making up
for that !!!

One of the fellas at the shop where Crazyone works
commented that "That fella is crazy like you are! You
sure he's not your Dad?" <grin> That was as I left
a 100 foot black streak down the back road as I left after
visiting to get my speaker installation finished.

The only thing keeping me sane is my Lightning!

See ya at the track!

SVT_KY,

You really should make one more trip to Sears - for a Torque Wrench. Aluminum wheels and disc brakes are not a good combination when guessing at tightning torque. Warped rotors are often the end result of hand tightning the lug nuts.
