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

Beach Bum
Ceramic Brakes
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.
