Tried to take the hub off in less than an hour after work, didn't budge. Going to try the socket trick tomorrow and see if I can change the u and ball joints on the passenger side in 3 hours before dark.

the socket trick works well. It helps to have another person to turn the wheel while you watch or vise versa

Installed ceramic brake pads (PowerStop $36).
Supposed to have better stopping power compared to OE semi-metallic. After testing them out, seems to perform better under hard braking.

Replaced the top power steering hose and CPS, makes me want to start a thread on things you never want to do again
.
Going to try get the parking brake adjusted before dark then try and find simple instructions to find out why I have a P1694 code. The new CPS fixed the poor running but didn't take care of the P1694 at the same time like I had hoped.

Monstalined the hood and new header panel, paint was shot on the hood and I had plenty of stuff left from when I did the roof not too long ago.
Well... Not really what I did, but what was did to me...Honda accord went underneath me. We will see how this carries out, I had full coverage on my jeep that had 290,003 miles on it
