I'm sure that you're sick of hearing about this by now, but I appreciate you letting me vent.
There is yet another twist to my rotor replacement saga. Yesterday after reassembling the driver side hub assembly without a hitch I was bolting the new disk down to the passenger side hub and ended up cross threading a bolt so now I'm dead in the water AGAIN. I live in a small mountian town, and the biggest parts store we have is NAPA. They don't have this bolt in their system, and they don't have anything big enough to rethread it. SO, called Merlin AGAIN and he is overnighting a couple of them to me so hopefully by Wednesday night I will FINALLY have my VX back together just in time to break the brakes in for Moab. Heck, I may be riding the brakes on the way to Moab to help seat them in.
I'm pretty darned sure that I've tightened everything down, but if you're behind me in Moab and you see something leaking underneath, honk your horn, scream, and make a general commotion because it's probably brake fluid....and that's kind of important on the trails.
