    Can't get caliper bolt out

    the above picture are the front caliper slide pins. IIRC they spin, as they let the caliper float in and out as you hit the brakes. do you have a picture? and as Numbers said, taking out the CV axle is key to replacing the hub.

    Aftermarket exhaust 4.0

Ideally by removing the cat id hope it broadens the...

    Aftermarket exhaust 4.0

    I have a 2004 v6 xlt 4x4. I don't readily see any o2s after it...I have a feeling he didn't want to deal with going from the 2.25" pipe to the ~3" at the secondary cat inlet. I'll double check tomorrow and see if he was BSing me...pretty sure he was. In the event he was, I may wait a few weeks...

    Are you going to use it? Or sell it on eBay? It looks like you don't have a 3rd gen to use this on. I want it to go to someone who will use it, not looking to cash in...just give back to the community :us:
