briankk Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Finished up the front brake work, which consisted of replacing the damaged/seized, rusted out and jammed parts. i.e., replaced both calipers, both rotors,(Brembo!) and all the pads, and most of the brake fluid too... Pulled codes this AM, got a 32 and a 35. Expected the 32, had to look up the 35. Went to AP store and got an oxygen sensor. Manual says to replace it hot. Drove up on ramps, got under with 22mm wrench, found entire exhaust system wrapped in bolt-on heat shielding, a possibility that Haynes didn't mention. 3/4" ratchet and 12mm deep socket had the shielding loose in a bit, but the upper shielding cant' be removed because the oxygen sensor is so long that the heat shield hits the bottom of the car before it can be slipped off.. Or, to put it another way, the exhaust system has to be dropped to get the thing off. Sigh.. Looking up on line, the gaskets between the block and the pipes cost $12 each side ! Recently, at the the P'nP, found some kind of GL, not wagon, with rear disks. Will just any of these replace my rear drums, or just certain ones? If so, which ones?
