Actually not. It's a timer for engine run time. Comes on about 82,000 miles or so.

Well since I couldn't get the brakes working (stupid bleeder valves just collapsed), I gave her a bath and added a sticker.



Tomorrow Ill have to go ahead and pull the tire/caliper and hopefully I can get it out with an ez-out. I would just buy new calipers but I have the TerraFlex disk conversion and I have no idea what calipers they are (not a jeep)

Did a wiper motor yesterday. It really wasn't bad to do, it only took me 25 minutes with basic hand tools.

One of my hub bearings started to make a little noise so I replaced them with new SKF units. The old ones were mystery hubs that I bought on ebay for an axle project several years ago, no manufacturer markings whatsoever, but they held up fine so I never felt like I needed to replace them until now. Still have preload on them, just making a little noise. The bearing seal is thin metal band, so I didn't feel comfortable regreasing them. The old stock bearings and the new SKF bearings have a large rubber seal, and can be regreased if the seal isn't damaged during removal (still have some stockers on my trail spare axle shafts, cleaned and regreased).
