[QUOTE="laselvasurf, post: 1598195, member: 44520"] Today was one of those days... Started at 8am with the idea of replacing the IWE actuators, hubs, calipers and pads on my raptor. The Passenger side went mostly as planned, other than one of the bolts that holds the IWE in place breaking off. That took an extra 45 minutes of futzing around to get it out and find a new bolt. [ATTACH=full]308940[/ATTACH] After getting everything together, things were looking pretty dang clean! [ATTACH=full]308941[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]308942[/ATTACH] The drivers side started easy... Then I found that this(the bolt through the SVC Offroad UCA) had been cross threaded... 3 hours later and 2 trips to the local hardware stores I was able to find a die and get the threads repaired. [ATTACH=full]308943[/ATTACH] Everything was looking pretty solid at this point so I put the wheels on and dropped the truck to do the brake bed in process. That's when I noticed the brakes were not getting hard as they should. Come to find out, the new passenger side caliper had failed and was just squirting brake fluid all over everything. [ATTACH=full]308944[/ATTACH] Back to autozone I went... This is where the fun really begins. I simply wanted to do an exchange for a new part, since the original was clearly bad. Unfortunately, their computers wouldn't connect to whatever servers so after nearly an hour, I was told I was just out of luck. At this point I needed to get things done, so I offered to just buy another caliper and would deal with the return later. They brought the part out and I was back home and getting it ready to install when I noticed that they sold me the wrong caliper. I cross checked the part numbers and it was way off. Back to autozone I went... The manager thankfully recognized me and took care of me pretty quickly. I was able to get home, instal the caliper get everything put back together and do a quick road test. Everything seems to be functioning normally with no leaks! All in all, a job that should of taken 3-4 hours max ended up taking 9+. I had planned on replacing the door keypad and installing bed lights as well today, but beer and dinner is calling so it'll have to wait. [/QUOTE]
