Got the other side apart this morning. That last bolt did take a little heat and using my torque wrench for leverage. It was set for 100 ft-lbs and never clicked before the bolt broke free.
The cordless impact I have is pretty wimpy, especially as the battery drains.
Progress stopped until the shocks arrive. I did crack open the bleeders on both calipers to make sure they would come free for when I flush/bleed the system as it goes back together.
Both sides look like this:
and a side by side:
I find it semi amusing that the front caliper pistons/pads look roughly the size of the rears on an Evo.
My 2-month to-do list is coming along nicely.
Edit: Mailman just dropped off the ratio adapter for the speedometer, but, I'm already cleaned up and changed out of the grease monkey clothes. I'll just hook it up when I go back to working on the car when the shocks come.
