Buckmark--  Perfect, as I found a T-55 sized Torx that will fit...  And have everything for tomorrows adventure.  Going to replace with Bolt headed pins for sure..  Mine had a larger socket 1/2 drive attached and no way could I get in there at all, the small wrench and pipe might be the ticket...  Even though the brakes are working but really worn.  The bracket is loose hard core due to the stupid design of those pins and tiny rubber bushing.  Wish they had real bolts, sure there is a reason...   I'd rather have knowledge on something than bang away trying different ideals...   I have done the front a couple times and had another shop one time do the backs and never realized what a pain they were till now...  Approaching 180K - on a 06 so replacing everything regarding brakes whether they need it 100% or not...

Brakes on the rear done... Yea, but huge dilemma on the front....Ugh ball joints and idler arm shot...  Crap!!  Quite a bit of play and probably the reason for pulling left and right when I had to use 4 x 4 recently....  First time they will be replaced in a very hard 177K    Any ideas on what the estimate will be on Monday?
