Daniel, I have a Motive power bleeder I can bring along if you need it...maybe you already have this covered? Happy to bring it if needed, let me know.

Sounds good!

I'd appreciate it (even though I should pick one up, but figure another good lesson and experience using one first will be good). .

I'll be bringing along fluid (ATE Type 200) and front pads (switching from the posi-quiets...thinking of going back to OEM). We'll see, interested in others opinions on the faint rubbing I'm getting on my front passenger side, hence the "brake/inspection" element.

I mean....I actually know how walnut blasting occurs, but how does it occur in somebody's garage vice a legit shop?

yeah wondered that as well...

Hopper + compressor that delivers 4CFM @ 90PSI. Harbor Freight has a really good mobile media blaster hopper. Remove intake manifold, blast away. If there's a powerful enough air compressor, it's doable, but I'd need to get the special intake manifold adapter. It's a "maybe," but I definitely want to clean up my brakes and paint them.

Since I failed to replace them yesterday and probably won't have time to do them this week, I need to add my name to the list:

Considering doing my rear shocks. I will need help given that I have never done them. Not exactly sure what to buy either. I plan on buying the top mounts as well. Doable?

I just did my rear shock this past Friday. I was scared because I have never done them before. It turned out to be easy peasy. I can bring my ramps if you wish... the wheels don't even have to come off.

[ryankokesh]

Yup, easy peasy. Happy to help as well.
