Yea that would be great if you could help. Im working the 6th all day but could knock it out on sunday the 7th.


I've got cleaner and grease and was about to run out and by a torque wrench unless you've got one we could use.

Heat is your friend for rusted rotors. Get a torch from a autoparts place, saved my ass many of times.

I thought the Raptor was metric?

You will need a 1/2 socket to remove the Calipers and 1" to remove the caliper bracket so you can remove the rotor.

Wd40 and a cheater bar also work great.

7th is wide open. Grab a torque wrench. I'm old school, I just do it by feel.

I skipped Propane and went with a MAPP gas torch from Home Depot. Runs hotter and sometimes that little bit has helped. You can probably run MAPP on the same torch head as Propane, but double check. You don't want a fire!
