exactly - they're designed to be removed by expanding that gap. complaining that they're hard to get out without doing that is like complaining that you can't torque a head bolt with a rock.

 

 

Hey Issac,

I said I got it. None of you wise acres came up with that little gem untill after I stated that I got them out. (BTW, I tried that and all I accomplished was jacking up the washers. The spark plug socket worked like a charm.)

Props to TNRabbit who sparked my memory of using the old mashed up socket on the pickup a couple of years ago.

Sooo, attempting to look like a smart guy now is like showing up to help a friend move a week after he has settled into his new digs.

But thanks for the idea, Next time I'll try a rock.

 

what's a "wise acre"?

 

Same as a smart a**, just didn't think the mods would like that.

But if you're gonna make me spell it out.

 

haha. i really only posted about the cone washers for the benefit of anyone referencing this in the future. glad yours came out ok, i've heard some real horror stories..

hope you antisiezed them when you put them back in, though!

 

Where ya getting the rotors? I've been looking for the best price for some for my 94..

 

Advanced Auto had them for around $30-35. Can't remember exactly.

 

I've stuck with OEM from the dealer; they last FOREVER and I've had no issues with them, UNLIKE the cheapo Chinese ones from Advance/Autozone/etc.
