Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:If I actually drink milk, I'm going to be chained to the toilet for the next day or so. Generic Lactase pills are like $5 for a bottle of 60 at walmart, if you enjoy milk products it's an acceptable expense I think. Another thing that is common where I come from is making yogurt at home, you can buy a yogurt maker for not much money - it's essentially just a hot plate set to just be mildly warm and then turn all your excess milk into straight unflavored yogurt or you can strain it into greek yogurt too. It's filling and good for your digestion.

Throatwarbler posted:Generic Lactase pills are like $5 for a bottle of 60 at walmart, if you enjoy milk products it's an acceptable expense I think. Now enough bullshit milk derail. I am the horrible mechanical failure today. 1977 320i finally back on the road just in time for the fall BMW meet in the Smoky Mountains. Load everything up to camping and hit the road. 3.2 miles from home I go put pull away from a stop, hear a thunk then stop moving. I'm 99% sure I torqued these to spec when I put everything back together last winter but I think they're getting locktite this time.  Had hydraulic jack, jack stands and my basic toolkit in the car so ~10 minutes later I was back on the road. Turned around, went home and cleaned the garage instead. Now I'm going over the car to see what else I hosed up. Very fortunate it let go when it did instead of a minute later when I would have been cruising down the interstate. It swung and bumped a few things but nothing compared to the damage had it let go at 70mph or more. Also found out my limited slip differential is actually an open differential

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:Somehow Winco only charges a little over $1 for a gallon, while even Wal-Mart is around $3. Guessing they're selling it as a loss leader.. This is the correct answer to the milk question. Store brand gallon milk sizes are typically sold as loss leaders, while the smaller sizes are at true prices (and make a profit). Even the $2-3 Walmart prices are loss leaders. The store brand gallons are the same poo poo as the $4-5 name brand gallons. They're supplied and stocked by the exact same distributors. One is a profit losing price to drive business, while the other is the real price that makes a profit. Anyone selling at $1 a gallon is trying to get customers in the door and taking a heavy loss to do so.

One of the brake shoes was so worn smooth it just fell out when the piston retracted. Reminds me of this one. "Hey man I think I've got a brake problem"  What's even better is that when I called him over to look at it, it took him about thirty seconds before he figured out why he had a brake problem.

And fell out I can't think of a way* for pads to wear enough to fall out, they are captive between the disc and caliper. *Other than the friction material coming off the backing plate or to wear through the caliper.

Krakkles posted:Not impossible, but far more likely you weren't used to sounds that a new vehicle should or shouldn't be making, and you missed it. Totally possible, but I'd already had that wheel off and checked the bearings at the time. So unless the symptoms were no play in the wheel, and spins freely, I dunno.

You do usually have a little tab that squeals, but they don't always get installed, or put on the right side so they just pop off. But the people that let the pads fall out of the caliper probably aren't going to notice that anyway.

I've had a PO break the wear indicator tabs off the brake pads to keep me from realizing they were so worn before. Either that or both of them just happened to fall off. Either way, the price was right and I didn't care. Metal on metal brakes actually work REALLY WELL - significantly better than actual brake pads, in my experience. They just don't handle high heat well (they stick together when they get all glowy and poo poo) and grab real bad, and wear life is horrible. I've had multiple cars either delaminate a pad on me or run out without me realizing due to the indicator tabs being gone, and I've always noticed it pulling to the padless side just as I noticed the brakes grinding. kastein fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Nov 5, 2016 |
