No more bitching I promise... So lets get to work!
What do you say, make a list.
- Tools for taking wheels on and off:
- Allan drive sockets
- Big wheel nut sockets
- 10mm socket for brake rotors
- Hammerite tough spray paint (my bolts needed a dip)
- Synthetic grease
- Torque wrench
- Cleaning TOols:
- Eagle 1 Chrome & Wire Spray Cleaner (acid)
- Meguiars Wax (or whatever you use)
- Toothbrush
- Acid brush
- Soft t-shirt to cut up for rags
- Spray bottle with water in it
Here is a shot of my snazzy new allen drive sockets. They are a MUST when working on Aprilias. Just go buy some because you need them so you can put them on a torque wrench and apply the proper force. I got this small set for $40 off the tool truck.
You can see the bolts for both front and rear rotors that I had already painted with a tough coat of Hammerite. I just run them through the wire wheel to get off any corrosion before hand. Tomorrow they will be nice and dry, ready to install.
