Call Me Rosie...


I ROCK!!! Yup, I do!!! I CHANGED MY OWN BRAKES!! I'm so stoked that I did! My Dad and my Step Mom drove 6 hours so that my Dad could teach me how. I'm So glad that they Did. My Dad took apart the first caliper to show me how, I finished that one up and I DID THE REST!!! He had to help me once because a piston was stuck and he even had a hell of a time with it, But after that, he sad " Well, you've got this, so I'm going back in the house." My Step Mom stayed with me so that she could help me with the jack n stuff. It was a hell of an accomplishment! It was FREAKIN HOT in that Garage, and I was sweating my ASS off. Gross... really gross. Can U say Swampass? And I got DIRTY, really Dirty!!

Taking Tires off....



And then the changing of the brakes!!
Did I mention that I Rock?


After Changing all the Brakes and Putting All the Tires back on, My Step Mom and I cleaned up all the tools, and then went inside to scrub our hands! =) I had to use a lot of Sugar on mine!! My Dad didn't expect this Girly Girl to really get in there and DO it. I think he thought that I would watch and take off a bolt or 2. And My Mom, well, she laughed hysterically when I told her I was going to do it!! I SHOWED them!! =)

My Back hurts like a Mo' Fo today though. The things I do for good Blog Pictures!! haha!! Ok, I did it because I wanted to save money, but TWO BIRDS right?

WooooooHoooooo! I am the shit!!

  14. You did it girl! I know how much of a pain that is. From watching my dad and husband. But I would never want to do it unless I had some serious A/C going on while I was doing it. I hate to sweat lol. It is bad enough I would have to get dirty

  20. Holy moly; if I ever did this, I'd end up dead as soon as I took to the road, and then the insurance wouldn't pay because anyone who knew me would know it had to have been a suicide attempt. Because NO... WAY could I trust brakes I worked on.
