Noticed my brake was dragging and couldn’t determine if was the e-brake (drum) or disc brake sticking. Well I found out too late when the pad ran out of compound on the outer side and could see gouging in the rotors.
Goal was to diagnose the issue and get parts list. Meanwhile making the thing have more pad to drag out, basically buy time and make it work better than does now.
The caliper failed by corrosion / rust most likely making the piston not release after hydraulics squeeze it tight. Although this is more costly than it being parking brake(drum), I’m sort of relieved not from me playing in the snow
Recently had to replant this date seed I sprouted from seed this thing is now a year old. Almost ripped a fresh date from tree last week, but was just out of reach. Will have to continue to grow my own.
This little trick I found on YouTube. Involves tying string around where want to split the bottle. Then take it off and trim excess string and soak in some fuel. Then but back on bottle and light on fire. Rotate bottle to evenly heat, then when just about to go out dunk in ice bath and it will split alone your marker.
One thing learned was that need cotton string, nylon will not even come close to working, it melts 😛 I had to get creative to find cotton rope. MacGyver would approve.
This was an abadoned buildings lot after a quick snow fall over the weekend. After being there just a short while I looped it and stalled it by mistake and had to call for help.. Think the battery + cold needs it topped off.
