I may be doing pads and a brake bleed. Otherwise I guess I will just Shin-etsu my rubber and lubricate other parts as per Helm manual for maintenance (white lithium etc). I will also help out as needed with anything. Please let me know what I need to bring as far as food and drink...

Changing front pads and check my rears as well bleed off some fluid on all 4 corners. I will just continually bleed my fluid as the summer goes on.

After that is done I will Shin-etsu my rubber seals as well. Though I will assist others as needed.

John: Be sure to have on hand a 1/2" socket wrench for turning the rear brake caliper as well as a nice C clamp or other clamp to compress the front calipers. Smaller torque wrenches are preferrable because of the tight space in the wheel well.

Let me know if I should bring any tools up with me(electrical/torque wrench/wrenches for the diff) Oh have a rubber mallet on hand as well.(for baning the end of wrenches to release the bolts)

I would prefer to be one of the first to go because I know I will get it done quickly and can show others HOW TO!!!

Steve, thanks for reminding me, I have to set the zone sensitivity on my proximity sensor! It's all installed, but I kept putting off setting it. Won't do me much good without being set!

I will bring some marinated chicken or steak tips ready for the grill.

I will probably just lube the rubber seals and stuff. I'll check the manual to see what lube (the lithium thing) is need for that. I've never purchase it before so if there is a specific brand that's better please advise. Also, how much is needed?

Ahsan,

Don't worry about purchasing the lithium grease...there are several of us (me included) who will be using it, so you can bum some from us. The tube is the size of a small toothpaste tube, but you use about the same amount as 2-3 brushings. Those tubes will last FOREVER!

I have updated the front page please check it out and make sure I didn't miss anything. Thanks!!

There's a Shaws Supermarket right downtown we can pick food up at if you'd rather do it that way, except you Ahsan we need you to marinate the chicken or steak tips yummy!!

I also have grease, so we should have plenty.

Jim: If you have a small torque wrench could you bring it, mine is kinda big, might work but I'd be safe knowing you have it with you. I have the clamps.

Steve: I'll be over there earlier but if you'd like to get there early with me you can meet me at my house or you can give you directions, its up to you. I might go to HD to get my new grill early Saturday morning if I do I can meet you in Bellingham. I just have to see how the week goes.

What else guys?

As far as anyone needing Shin-etsu, I have a brand new tubr that ordered from H&A and havent used yet. I am sure there will be plenty. If Dan has the lithium, we should have everyone covered.

Will there be any washing/waxing going on? I need to add a few more coats of Z5 and Z2 so maybe that could keep me busy too. BTW, does anyone have any Z6 they want to sell to me? I am running low.
