Nothing today, but I found a couple big boxes from RockAuto on my front porch when I came home from work.

Tomorrow, new pads discs on the back of my wife's CR-V. When do I get to my truck :dunno:

Actually did a job I said I was going to get to :) Impressed with the parts from RA, even though I bought the budget/commuter line- rotor hub was powdercoated (or at least painted) black, pads had all the little springs and clips. Nice fit.

Little trick I learned- the discs have e-brake drum/shoes. Getting them to let go was tough until I found the star wheel adjuster. It's at about 30* off bottom center towards the front of the car as you face the hub, there's a rubber plug on the hub face, pop that out and stick your brake spoon/screwdriver in there. crank the the adjuster wheel downward to retract the shoes. A few well placed smacks with a hammer and they'll pop right off
