Day two of DIY because I can't afford shop costs car repairs. Today I go to rotate the tires. I'm not one for bending down, crawling on the ground and all that stuff. Never liked it. So I knew today was going to be non-fun. I get one side off and want to remove the rear drum to check the brake shoes. If course it's stuck on tight. Screw it. Move on. Now to the other side. Most of the lug nuts are coming off easy, as they should. BUT one wants to be a bitch because when I went to Firestone last they went and cross threaded it. Well.... The stud goes and pops off. I don't have the time and energy to replace it so now I have to bring it in and get it replace. Firestone said they can do it for about $50 which is about $65 less than normal. For now I lay in bed watching the Packers/Cowboys game while the migraine meds kick in.
