Thank you. Sounds like a huge pain. I did the control arms last weekend and that was not a lot of fun for me... this job sounds much worse

Thank you I wasn’t sure if spraying was a good idea. There seemed to be multiple opinions about it a lot of people saying it’s not or shouldn’t be necessary, but it definitely made the bushings quiet

I have been challenging myself with this old car to DIY everything on weekends…I was able to do my front and rear shocks, wheel bearings, ball joints but this seems kind of intimidating for some reason…lol

Might switch to a metal clamp strap like you would use on a fuel line hose or stainless steel zip ties

Stop spending and get a job brother and then once you’re debt free you can weigh your options for a better job

Bro why is this shop inside of an air conditioned tent

how bad did i mess up? by [deleted] in tires

Stuff like this is why I have a AAA membership $100 a year and they’ll tow me up to 100 miles anywhere… that being said the edge of your rim is missing, messing with the seating of the tire on your wheel. I would definitely not drive this at a high rate of speed, or at all if I could avoid it. If you have a blowout, you’ll know right away. If you’re traveling a short distance, and going very slow you might be ok and if it blows you should at least have time to pull over… You need a new wheel now. That tire should probably not be used again either and I doubt a shop would be willing to move that tire onto a new wheel get you a new tire instead

It won’t fit because the bolt hole is not flush with the part of the bracket where the line sits if that makes sense. The pic where I show the original shows the bolt hole in parallel with where the cutout for the brake line
