Nah, I've just had enough training on this shit that it's drilled into my head.

I don't know what you do for a living but going through all kinds of manufacturing facilities and working in an R&D lab with all kinds of power tools in use on a day to day basis, they make you learn PPE for good reason.

Agreed! I use a face shield when using a router for this exact reason.

The hilarious part of this is that you responded to your own joke.

I work with dangerous power tools all the time and still have all my fingers, toes, etc with only minor scratches. Don't be an idiot and you'll be fine.

So you're admitting you can't use a dremel because you're a moron?

Majofo

Ohh... he mad.

Dremel - engraving bullshit, arts and craft crap (bitch work)

cu2wagon

Drilled into your head?

Sounds like you need better PPE. Maybe a face shield?

And that is why Culo is parking in AP parking at the school now without getting towed.

We use dremels to design medical devices and machine parts to manufacture them.

aren't you honorary asian? in the pants

Majofo

That's only below the waist.. still gwai-ro hazard above the waist

Majofo

confirmed, bitch work

cu2wagon

Below the waist looks like there was a dremel accident and he wasn't wearing PPE.

not sure if something like this would work to get it started. Can't tell if the nut is above the surface at all.

Waiting for "The Vagon had irremovable spacers, so I got an RS6 Avant"

Majofo

Dude.. his pops got the RS7.. so.. you never know

Majofo

I'd say this.. for as much work as he's put into the Vagon
It'd be a shame.. it's extra proper right now.

iTrader: (1)

Man, that's some fucked up shit. I'd chop that thing off and get a new stud put in when you have a chance..

Glad my spacers have been drama free.. *knocks on wood*

Moar V content..

Majofo

He's got two more frozen nuts on the other side

Well damn this spiralled out of control yesterday.

Put in a bunch more hours on this last night. Ordered some deep socket stripped nut extractors on Monday and they arrived yesterday. They at least were able to bight enough on one of the seized nuts to pull it off on the other side. Still ended up having to cut the other one out.

Finishing up the drive side I started on the weekend.

Grabbed my stone chisel and was able to pry back part of the cut nut. Unfortunately that wasn't enough to get it off.


Cut the extra pieces off to get better access


Also turns out that metal drill bits are more effective than cutting wheels at removing material


Was finally able to use the BMFH and Chisel to spin what was left of the nut. It took
​​​​​​​

And finally VICTORY!!!!!!!
​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

The stud isn't too bad. Not going to replace it for the time being.
​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​



On to the second one. After the first one I decided to take a different approach and go with the grill for most of it. Seemed to remove the metal faster and also created much less mess since it wasn't sending find metal shaving dust all over my garage.

Some pilot holes to start
​​​​​​​

First opening
​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

Drilled some holes from the side and then cut out what was left with the dremel
​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

Carefully cut some more getting as close as possible and then knocked the piece out with the chisel
​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

Cut a slit in the remaining nut with the dremel this time making sure I didn't do too far. Was then able to tap with the chisel and BMFH and get the nut to rotate.
​​​​​​​

A few little scars from the drill on the rotor but not enough to ever matter. They will need replacing soon anyways as they are at 75k miles.
​​​​​​​

What remains of the second one. Definitely learned a lot on how to do this. Knocked the second one out in a little over an hour so definitely figure the process out much better.
​​​​​​​


Take that you damn spacers. VICTORY!!!!! Theses bitches are going on the garage wall
​​​​​​​


And finally I can get the snow tires on the car for my trip to PA.
​​​​​​​

Only for the weather to never be below 24 degrees while I am there and mostly mid 40s during the day. Of course it would. Had to get them off anyways as I put Mich P4S on instead of the Contis I normally run since they didn't have them as fast as I needed tires for the fronts. The rears would have had the fenders sitting on with the 15mm spacers. So now I can get the rears mounted. Sadly during all of this I noticed that both rear shocks are leaking so now I need to decide if I want to put new factory ones in or get some coilovers. I knew the time was coming though so been preparing for it. Still not sure what I want to do. I do like the magneride.

Meh, coilovers it is.
$500 every 70K miles just for the back?
Just put a piece of 4x4 block wood back there for launches.

Majofo

Horreeeee Fahhhhkkk braddah
That's badass
Good shit

I'm going to buy you a good ass craft growler if we ever meet up

Majofo

At least you have TWO sweet ass paper weights now

cu2wagon

You should list those spacers for sale. Some chump would probably still buy them.

CCColtsicehockey

Thanks for @rockstar143 and @KaMLuNg for putting up with all my idea bouncing through this mess. Oh and one of you guys for suggesting I go at it with a drill instead of the stupid cut wheels I was using. J style repayment available if desired.

CCColtsicehockey

I do love the cushy Cadi ride and I don't drive as much long distance travel all the time in it as I once did. If I knew I could get 70k miles out of them for sure them that wouldn't be bad since that would get me 4.5-5 years of use at around 15k miles a year. The part about coils that really puts me off is the sensor deletes you have to buy or make. If they were not so much then it would be a no brainer during some of the holiday sales you can get the coils for only $900 with free shipping.

Haha thanks. Pirate Noir maybe

CCColtsicehockey

so true

CCColtsicehockey

I mean I almost feel like listing them for sale for $50 + shipping on the CTSV facebook page along with a warning and pictures of what it took to get the other two off the car and see if some sucker who loves a good deal doesn't care.

Majofo

I vote for magneride.. it's sweet how it continually adjusts.
I didn't notice it all that often, until my rears were completely blown

I swapped in new magnerides and shit felt mad good
It also felt like I was in a truck, on rails
