[plthijinx]

a place where you photoblog your day or major project of any field. carpentry plumbing electrical automotive. any DIY job....(never know....someone might need the info someday....)

today was two projects. on the Fixed Or Repaired Daily my goal was to change the front rotors and brakes as well as a bad cam position sensor located under a bunch of shit you had to remove to get to on the right front side of the engine. a real PITA. I did the front end first. first pic here is the tight fit into the shop today and go kart limited space in which to work...

the new rotor:

the doohickey you put the rotor on cleaned off with a shop rag. make sure you put a thin coat of grease on it before putting the rotor back on.

remove the wheel bearings from the old rotor, bathe them in gasoline then pack them with grease...

the best thing since sliced bread for this project... a bearing packer...

done. put the tire back on and hit the road.

cam position sensor was a helluva lot harder and i was impatient so the blackberry sat on a go kart for that job. but i did take this one..the old sensor on the left cuisine-arted by the cam
