Default Epic Day at Jimmy's Garage - No oil spills for arob, and my A6 gets a new axle!

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/28004/dsc_0029.jpg"></center><p>
First job was Rob changing his oil. He did the entire project himself. It was very fast and no fluids were spilled! Check out the video.

I put in a new front left axle in the A6. (Well actually Toeneal did most of it). Thanks Neal!! Also, thanks to Roger for bleeding my clutch while the axle was out. (I still haven't test driven the A6, so I don't know if it works or solved the problem.)<ul><li><a href="http://www.vimeo.com/2316160">Rob's Oil Change Video</a></li></ul>

Default sorry I missed it

was pinch bolt cooperative?

ugh I would not let Roger anywhere near my tranny :-b

expect poor shifting followed by complete inability to get the car in the gear...

The pinch bolt came right out w/ no problems. We did have some trouble getting the CAs to come free.

Default LOL nice video. TJ, saw the other video of the 911 not giving the pass. I could see some red mist.

:/

It was only three laps from the first time he should have let me pass until the pass signal!
