I did a front brake job on Dad's 2001 Tacoma. New pads and rotors. To remove the rotors, you have to remove the hubs and then they're held on w/ 5 bolts between the other bolts that hold the wheels on, and then they come off the back. A little rust so they needed a little convincing. Nothing terrible, just wasn't prepared for the extra little bit required.
I also did an oil change. Of course the shop tightened the oil filter so hard that it was a major PITA to get it off. Barely had enough room to get in there w/ my filter socket and ratchet(only time I have to use it on anything is an oil change after a shop did it). When I told Dad I did the oil too he told me the guys at Car-X just never changed the sticker. He had it done about 1 1/2 months ago and it only had about 1000 miles on it. Here I thought he was about 1000 miles over....
They also checked his brakes then and said he could make it through the winter yet.... When I did them today the passenger side was metal on metal and the driver side wasn't too far away either. Thanks to them I got to experience the full effect of replacing the rotors too.... Otherwise I could have just resurfaced them on the blanchard grinder at work and been done.

But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
