as long as the rotors are still withing spec AFTER they get cut...you should be good for a long time. A tip for getting more life out of a rotor...if you do a moderate-hard stop, like coming off a highway exit, where you go from say 80 down to a full stop, when you come to the stop, let your...
this is nuts...$2K!!??...I picked up a set of front pads at Autozone for like $140 or so...truck doesn't come close to needing yet at 45K miles...If you can, have the rotors cut...will save you tons right there over replacing them.
your right...nothing is worse as far as hose clamps go, than cheap worm gear types...there's a reason the factories don't use them on the assembly line...some know, some don't...
nope...as soon as you pull it apart, and stick your fingers in there...it becomes a potential fail point! Where there was one factory clamp, there is now 2 shade tree mechanic clamps...and a "valve" from who knows where in China.....I can take my HF clamp off in 1 minute and inspect for any...
you clamped it too tight man. My 19 shows absolutely no damage...how would it make the walls thinner? "Each line clamp is specially designed to stop flow without damaging or compromising the hose." HF Clamp kit

Just put a Harbor Freight hose-clamp on this hose...you'll **** when you see how much colder the ac gets...put it on in spring, take off in fall. You don't have to clamp it super crazy tight...just tight enough to squeeze the hose like 3/4 ways closed.
Hi there...I just retired 3 years ago from appraising for a major carrier based in Boston, had about 15 years in the field...the way it works in MA is, one year or 15,000 miles gets you OEM parts, after that, A/M is allowed as long as they are CAPA Certified. CAPA is a testing lab in D.C. that...
as an old retired appraiser, I want to see how diminished my skill are,lol...so I'm going to take a guess at what the final repair bill was on that hit....I say $14,680.....
