I didn't say I did "ALL" the install on my brakes,,My Friend has a shop in My Town and He did most of the install on the brakes{first off,His shop has a lift}and I helped run the new brakes lines and some other "small" things.
It's a the shop for the headers install because We might need to "bend" the headers to make them fit,,,most Home don't have that tool,,,,,another thing,,,I NEVER said I installed My brake system at home did I??
NOWHERE in My post does it say I installed it at home.
If it makes You fell better,,I'm sure You are a better car mechanic than I am,,,I have an appliance business and I can fix washers and dryers like nobodies else can,,,,,what do You do for a living buddy??
Wow! Sorry I hit a nerve! No offense was intended in any way. It simply seemed to me that swapping out pipes was a pretty easy task, compared to the brake work, which you mentioned that you had done earlier. Having a shop with a lift makes a HUGE difference in either job, and is explanation enough! Added to that, having a buddy that has the shop, tools and experience is a GREAT way to do the work - learning by experience cannot be beat, especially with a mentor.

I don't think I've ever questioned your mechanical abilities, and if I have please accept my apology. As for my background, I'm a retired mechanical engineer with background in power control systems, which is probably a detriment to many projects as I tend to over-analyze or over-think things. My car building experience is limited to one vehicle, but I dearly enjoy figuring out how to do things that I've not tackled before.

I do have one of the older Maytag washer/dryer combo's (before they "went cheap") and I've been trying to get that blinkin' washer drive belt adjusted "just right" for a long time, but it still "squeaks" occasionally, making me think that another belt replacement is in my future. If only you were closer to Kansas....

I'll avoid making any comments to your posts in the future, to avoid any chance of offending you further. Sorry for any negative Karma I've caused you.
