REAR AXLE and BRAKE DRUMS:
I know you've seen it in this blog before, my motto, which is Dumb, but Lucky.
So this morning at 7 I left for Joe Block's, after some confusing info in the parts book (to me), so I wasn't sure if the brake drums of a 2007 would measure out for my weird rear-end. But they did.
But everything checked out so far. So I have my axle nuts, wheel bolts, axles, backing plates, keys, and da-da brake drums, which I dropped off at the brake place to turn and will be ready later today.
The flackmaster was in the wings, if things didn't work out here locally, which I appreciate. Hard to imagine I'd have this stuff within 24 hours. I may go back tomorrow afternoon to pull the drive shaft. That would complete my quest, if it all fits on Monday.
But talk about a happy camper!
