I will try and shoot pics tomorrow of the 18's on that beast. I am in the process of changing the rear brake shoes and all I can say is <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />. I beat the crap out of my drums trying to get them off as referred by the isuzone and they didnt <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />. Seems that there is a dust cup you have to take off then pull the spindle nut then hammer <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />. I took everything off and got frustrated with the wife calling and a guy I was buying a jeep from so I left it at my shop and will finish tomorrow along with the front rotors and pads.
Hey curtis I found a 89 Turbo RS today thats in decent shape. The lady was asking $2000 and dropped it to $1500 in a matter of seconds. Just FYI if you know someone looking for a turbo RS.
Do you have any diagrams of how the three springs on the drums go and their location?? Isuzone was no help at all with this.
I have the Shop and ELectrical Manuals for the 88-89 I Marks. But, they're at home, and I'm at the office now.
Odd, I had them with me yesterday!
I'l be in the shop this weekend, if you get time, give me a call. I'm wrapping up the I Mark diesel conversion. Wiring in some gauges and driving light for those early morning commutes. I'll PM you my cell #. Maybe we can hook up and I'll run you off a copy of the brakes "How To".
I'll have the I Mark off the lift by noon Saturday if you want to come out and do your rear brakes standing up! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I just laid out all my play money on a new shop toy. Or I'd be on that RS.
Funny, my wife only calls me when my hands are greasy or I'm welding a difficult part. Her timing is flawless! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Then she gets mad when I call her back to see what she wanted....At least the cat stays out of the way and waits for me to come pet her. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
