Physical therapist showed up for Tina’s first round so I thought I’d go put new brakes on the front. Got everything out that I’d need and started on the right side. Started loosening the lug nuts, removing 3 and leaving the other 2. Got her jacked up and jack stand in place. Removed another nut and started on the last one. 2 turns of the breaker bar and it stops. Won’t budge at all. Take the stand out and set her back on the floor. Bowing the bar, still no go. Turning back to the right it would only turn a smidgen. The stinkin thing galled up on me!! Bigger bar, no go. Bigger bar with big freaking pipe and finally started to turn. By the time it was off the nut was hot...and so was the lug nut.

Went to the local speed shop hoping he would have one. Nope, a set will be here Tuesday. With Tina down for a bit, at least I’ll have her ride to get to work. As Roger Murtaugh said, and is right BTW, I’m getting too old for this ****!!
They all broke loose about the same. Bet it was stretching coming off tho. Off and on many times and only losing 1 besides this one ain’t bad in 19 yrs I reckon.Maybe an optical illusion, but it looks like the nut had been over torqued, to the point of stretching the stud there in the middle.
The positive cable and negative cables are a little... custom.. made do with what i had. My positive cable is 2 cables lugged together.
Not ideal
also missing my marine terminals with wing nuts and huge ass battery sideways in the tray with bungie cords holding it in
