Rear brakes

Funny sound out back while driving the Jetta today. May need rear brakes.
Could I take care of this at the GTG? Would need a rear brake piston "rewinding" device and probably someone to help keep me from hurting myself.

tempting.

If for no other reason to bring up some wheels to sell/trade.

I need room in the garage more than I need 4 sets of 5x100's

What wheels do you have for sale might be interested?

Set of Monte Carlos.

They were road rashed pretty bad, so I sent them to wheel medic in columbus and they straightened and refinished them in a solid gunmetal color.

SO they are basically brand new with one slight issue...Apparently the little hex bolts are plastic and they were kinda deformed in the powder coating.

PM me with your email and I will send some pics.

I may be in. Maybe try and get a few Indianapolis guys to come up together.

Looks like I have to miss this one after all. Seems there's a department holiday party on afternoon of the 15th I have to attend. Since Matt is 4+ hours one way and party is nearly 5 the other way would be driving all day and only spend a few minutes at this GTG so I'm gonna bail on it.

Know Matt will have other GTG's so I'll make it out there soon enough!

I'm out now. Headed to New York for Sandy hurricane recovery on the subway.

 

[Stinkyfingers]

You can't get from Louisville to NYC on the subway!

Too bad. That would give me a job the rest of my life. Lol

 

[Al_Czervik]

I should be able to make it.

 

[deegingerkid]

If it's the 15th, I'm in. Dave and Logan, here's lookin' at you.

 

[Whitbread]

As post earlier said, plan is the 15th. Having my left hand operated on the 12th so I'm definitely not going to be doing any work, just cooking and bs'ing.

 

[Ryan VW 91]

My exams will be over by then, and im only like an hour away from you. Might come by and check out the new place. Any chance of doing a couple logs, still running that original tune..

 

[Stinkyfingers]

Matt,
Unless I missed something, need some info on where you are now located. Hoping to do rear brake pads and rotors, maybe oil, filter and Cat filter too.
Do you have a rear caliper tool?
Thanks.

I'm out...Gotta attend one of those classes for people about to be riding a bicycle everywhere. Damn injectors and tune! Where is limp mode when I need it?

 

[algirdas]

Yeah, what is your new shop address?

 

[Growler]

Have fun all, I am not able to make it. Christmas season, family parties etc etc.

Matt, you have to have another GTG in the spring so I can come up!

Bummer, man....and why will you be riding a bike? The passat that broken?

 

[Whitbread]

See everyone in the morning

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Is everyone having fun yet?

I'm stuck at work - no fun here.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Be sure to post lots of pics so I can check out Whitbread's new digs!

Good times, low turnout so far though. That's okay though, more individual Whitbread time

 

[algirdas]

Yeah!
Where is everybody?
Oh we'll, next spring then!

 

[Salmonbum]

I just found out about it today. How long everyone gonna be out there? I can be out there by 5

 

[Stinkyfingers]

Thanks, Matt, for the help, hospitality and the great burgers and kielbasa. Great shop. Slippery floor. Ferocious dog. Wish more inmates could have taken you up on your GTG offer. Back of my Jetta seems to stop as well as the front does now.

Sorry I missed this. Haven't been home since 12/3 and still not there yet.

Hope I can squeeze in the auto show. Going to take me a while to catch up once I get back home.
