Calipers should have high heat paint, from the looks of it the blue could be ford engine high heat paint

Drew has the eye. Ford Blue Engine Enamel. I have used it on all my calipers for years without any problems.

The tear down begins tonight. After I eat I am going to get the front end off the ground and start ripping her apart. I will finish it all up tomorrow and be pimping big brakes at the K-John Show. If anybody wants to lend a hand shoot me a PM for the address.

Things aren't going as planned. The front isn't coming apart as easily as the rear end did. I was originally hoping to be done by noon on Thursday. But as the car sits right now I highly doubt it.

Um yeah, things didn't go well. I have given up. I could not seperate the CV Shaft from the wheel hub on the drivers side. So rather than mess things up royally I have put it all back together and I am going to give it another try some other time. I am thinking if I cannot remove the outer joint from the hub I may as well replace the CV shafts completely. This way I can just pull them out at the tranny and not worry about the wheel hubs, as they are being replaced with the big brake kit.
What a piss off though. I was hoping to be sporting 4 wheel big brakes at the K-John Show on Saturday. Oh well, what can I do?
