You guys are scarce on Saturdays!...Working all day doing brake work 2000 Nissan
Had to R & R, remove and replace the total rear disk brake system on my Dads 2000 Nissan Altima SE today from this morning to late afternoon.What a job, I'm beat to the bone and tired out with a few problems with frozen bolts that wouldn't budge, I finally got the job done to my high expectation & satisfaction being as good as OEM now, so I'm happy about that! So I was wearing my Seiko H558-5009 Arnie sport diver this morning till I started the job and removed it to prevent absolute havok happening to the watch, then took a hot shower and strapped her back on. I just wanted to check-in and say hello guys!Take care guys & have a nice Sunday- Jim
