Teardown 13 / Reassembly 1
Well just like [USER=18194]@Honcho[/USER] and just like almost ALL of us have experienced the damn rotor alignment screws are the bane of existence. I had to drill out all 8 screws. Only 3 rotors came off (I get to do the 8mm bolt trick on the final one). Oh and the screws for the front Brake Shields may as well be WELDED in place!! I can't get vice grips on them well enough on the RH side to crack them. Paul got one loose but the other 3 ya...not happening. Next step, bigger vice grips. Next step heat and Aero-Kroil? Next step drill? I can't access the screws on the LH side yet since I haven't gotten the rotor off yet. I can't wait to dip these hubs in EvapoRust.
So while some final tear down is happening there is also some reassembly happening too:
Paul and I got the two front new brake lines routed for the 2000+ ABS upgrade, not the most fun but went smoother than when we did his. So with the new lines in place I set the new Pole2Flag stainless brake lines in and attached them. Still need to do the rears.

We also started routing the front bay wire harness back into place a bit and hit a small speed bump, the paint shop forgot to mask the grounds in the front bay, so like Paul go to do in the engine bay I get to sand off the paint carefully from the 4 contact points in the front bay. And I'm also waiting on new orange/brown, white, and blue zip ties that have broken. (Yes there is a reason the pictures are black & white...trying to keep the color reveal under wraps just a LITTLE bit longer).
