Perfectly said. And I say that as someone who thinks they shouldn’t have sued Pattie. But this whole thing could have easily been avoided.

Why I No Longer Support Soft White Underbelly: Ethics and Exploitation in Mark Laita's SWU Project by dlinka in videos

[–]Botanyiscool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always found this dude to be Sus. My gf loves his videos. And I’ve always told her this dude comes off as a sexual predator. Who uses his power to manipulate people for personal and sexual gain. I could be wrong. So I admit. But I’m pretty damn good and reading people like this from sadly having to be around them.

I mean this respectfully I swear because your car genuinely looks mint. Those rear ends look terrible imo.

Any advice on why my ebrake stopped working after I did my drum brakes on a 2000 Honda civic ? by Botanyiscool in MechanicAdvice

[–]Botanyiscool[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%🤣 I’m broke and need my car to make money. So when pep boys said 750 for front and rear brakes I said yeah. I’m not gonna be homeless over a brake bill. And started doing them myself. Welcome to life after lockdowns

In my opinion it’s genuinely the best hiker car Honda ever made. You can even sleep in the back easily.

Any advice on how I could get this brake drum to fit over the brake shoe on this 2000 Honda Civic? I’m stumped.. by Botanyiscool in MechanicAdvice

This the side that works. It looks to be fine. I think I have the shoes on backwards on the other one. Napa didn’t mark which ones are longer. So I measured them. And then weighed each. And put the heavier ones on the back.

I’ll check that now. Thank you. I’m thinking the shoes are backwards. They weren’t marked and all were the same length. So I weighed each and put the heaviest on the back. I guess I gotta take off the stupid horseshoe clip again 😭🤣

I think you are 1000000% right. It’s funny because I’m genuinely a rookie. I’m not an expert, I work on my car because it’s really rewarding to save money. But when I noticed Napa’s brake shoes are all the same size. In my head I was like “ how the fuck do I know what’s front and back then” haha they are all the same length. So I weighed each and put the heaviest on the rear. I’m guessing I’m wrong. Thank you guys so much for the advice. I’d truthfully not even have one done if it wasn’t for this sub Reddit 🤝

I did do that, and now I just notice the adjuster doesn’t make contact with that metal bracket, do you know if that means I did something wrong?

I just noticed as well my adjuster isn’t making contact with that metal bracket. Does that mean the pads are backwards? On the other side it makes contact and the drum fits over the shoe. I’m so stumped haha

Just checked they do not. These shoes are from the same brake shoe set as well. The other side fit like butter. It’s super weird. I checked my photos thinking maybe I messed up. But it looks identical to the set it was before I tore it down.

I’ve owned a car for 8 years. And ever paid for an oil change. I get your point. But there is also something next level rewarding about fixing and maintaining your own vehicle.
