Gary if you ever get up to Jersey with your CEO I'd love to have a brewski with you and help you out on your to-do's!

Much easier on your knees/back to remove calipers for refinishing. Better results too.

10x1 capscrews and 3/8 rubber grommets will seal the caliper ports, no crud/paint inside. 3/8 vacuum caps on brake line threads. Depress the brake pedal 1" with a stick to prevent gravity drain of brake fluid.

No problem.

Makes the job much cleaner/easier.

New SC belt and clean air filter. Might do that in a few hours. That's really it I guess.

Suspension work: FTA bushings/balljoints, front and rear control arms, rear balljoints, front swaybar links, center bearing + guibo, remove/clean/grease front driveshaft splines, full drivetrain fluids, front brakes, brake flush, then pressure wash undercarriage (which will be somewhat hard to do on ramps...).
Did the RF CV boot last month.

Since we are advertising if anyone wants their X5 spring detailed/decon and polish/sealed, let me know if you're local to central Jersey, would love to take on some side work :thumbup::thumbup:
