So much for cheap oil changes

[yankeefan98121]

Sorry to hear everyone's experience with the JL's, BP's of the worlds.

I usually buy my own oil and take it into the dealer, Larry H Miller Nissan, they charge I think last time was 15 dollars +/- a few bucks. Not saying the dealer can't F up cause it's still human error and can happen anytime. I know it's not doing it yourself but for me it's about saving time

I'm more than mildly amused at this point.

Why is that?

Why is that?

Rotating tires has nothing to do with balancing or weights. Rotating is just moving the rear wheels to the front and the fronts to the rear. usually in an X pattern unless you have directional tires.

I do my own oil changes but I would take my cars to the dealer or one of the local independent Subaru shops near me if I couldn't do it myself. (I own 2 Subarus)

4 carbide bits, a 18v craftsman cordless drill and an air wrench. Nothing made it out alive, shredded the bits and killed the drill and the air wrench.

Why did you have to drill them? You take a bfh and smack the old ones out and then an impact gun and pull the new ones in. You have to take the brakes apart but that isn't time consuming like drilling.

Well where the hell where you man! Hind site is 20/20 and I'm not a mechanic and don't have access to a BFH, btw what is a BFH.

bfh = big fucking hammer?

Exactly, I use a 4 lb sledge. One hit and wheel stud pops out.

Yea I think thats it, but I tried that with a smaller socket but the way my rims are you can't get any leverage to snap the studs because how narrow and deep they are, and I didn't want to damage my rim (not stock).

Wow, they really buggered it up didn't they? Made it so the lug nuts wouldn't spin off at all?
