This was a few days ago, but I replaced my parking brake cables, both axles, and splash guards.  Fortunately, I was at Paul's and got to use his lift and his tools.  He was a great help teaching me how to do a few things.

Need to tighten my ebrake cable.... I was parked on my drive way and the car started to slide back.. I hit the brakes and pulled up the ebrake some more. then put it in 1st like I always do. not good not good..

Also purchase ebay foglights and harness so I can retrofit in. i can't see jack when it foggy even with hid.

I gotta do that e-brake adjusting too.  Just been lazy.

[thisaznboi88]

is there an diy for the ebrake adjustment?

[gargantula99]

Yup, there is.  I searched for it, found it, printed it and will do it tomorrow.  Should take 5 minutes total.  For your ease, I've copied the link below.

Ty... So right now I am over hauling my HID retrofit because the shroud fell off and was blocking my projector. Something just had to piss me off. Anyways its bee 4.5 hr working on them now. I am also swapping lens and doing some other crap.

On my way home from the National Air Force Museum, my car stopped moving.  When in gear the speedo would move, but I wasn't going anywhere.  Got a flat bed to take my car home and got under it to take a look at what was going on.  The DS axle popped out of the diff.  I couldn't get the lower ball joint loose to get the axle out, so I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow to see if advance or auto zone has a ball joint separator.  Hopefully then I can get the axle out to have advance replace it for me.

I've had that happen to me before in a different car! It blows there is nothing worse than that feeling!

Meh.  I have AAA, so I should abuse it when I can.  The flat bed driver was really cool and much nicer than any asshole I've dealt with in MA.  He has a split bed flat bed truck, so he could accommodate my lowered ride height (which isn't ridiculously low).  The guy backed up in my driveway and dropped the car right in my garage. 

The shitty part is that I just don't have a big enough hammer with me to get that stupid ball joint loose.  I'd rather loan out a proper ball joint separator (read: not a pickle fork) for free from advance or auto zone, but if need be, I will get a bigger hammer in lieu of said ball joint separator.

BFH!!!!

Replaced the serpentine belt.  I'll do a write up tomorrow.
