in college i had an old dodge, and no mech experience, and no$. so, when the brakes (drum fronts!) started grinding, and i saw the estimate, I called a parts store and discovered I could save 75% doing it myself.
I was worried about my tools and skills. So, I start by removing the LF wheel. can't get the 1st lug off. So i do the right front, tight rusted on lugs, but no problems. back to the lf. no joy, i press harder to free the lug. suddely i'm on the ground. amazed at my own strength I try a second, before I dicsovered that I had sheared the stud clean off. twice.
Then i went to the parts store to pick up a couple studs, when they told me that the left hand side had reverse threads!!!
