Thanks for the heads up on that F---ing drum. I never had rear drums on any vehicles that I owned. At least I never had to service them. I wanted to beat the Sh!+ out of that drum, but I refraned from causing any more damage. Wish I knew of the adjuster and the screw removal method before hand. Now that I know, I'll prepare for my second attempt.

Jaboo - Sun dial? There has to be sun to use one of those things man! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> The whole top of the world is tilting away from the sun during this time of the year! Global warming would be nice about now. It's -18 degrees Below zero right now. I just had my timing chain, belt and water pump replaced last summer. So I can only assume that your dead on accurate with the timing estimate.

I don't intend on stealing the thread from Hydra, thanks for the advice though. Good luck on those brakes man.
