Well the right side rear caliper I got from my work for my ZJ rear disc swap decided to be a huge pita, for some reason despite the caliper being new, this damn bleeder screw was in there so incredibly tight that I ended up rounding it having to grind the side of the bolt and took it out with and Irwin extractor set... those sets sure do come in handy. Damn bleeder screw! Now, back to my work in the morning to get new one and I'll finally be done with this.

I once drove 120 miles round trip in a freak snowstorm (heavy snow too) for a job interview only to arrive at the office and find out that the people that worked there and likely lived within 5 to 10 miles couldn't be bothered. They got a big earful and instructions on what to do with their job when they called me to reschedule.

Common sense has escaped the masses somewhere along the way.

I'll honestly just never understand it... job security.

I hate when that happens. I love watching and learning tips from other guys video's they share. One guy posted a video when he was doing his brake booster swap, he stated that he always uses vise grips to crack things loose to avoid striping them. (rounding them)

Removed the door trim and had a "great" time taking off that double sided tape from the body in preparation for plastidip tomorrow. Really weird was that the little piece in the front had a different type of tape at the bottom on driver and passenger side. Now that was a ***** to get off. Good thing it wasn't like that on all three moldings.

Had a little fresh paint added to change the look.
