hehe it happened last night, theres 2 bolts holdin the caliper assembly to the back wheels, one of them fell off and the caliper was getting stuck inside the rim causing it to violently break........thought it was the differential going bad.....$0.29 fix

Lucky a tire didn't go flying off. Saw that happen right in front of me one time. I think it was some old Nissan sentra or something. Anyhow I saw what looked like a lug nut go flying, I said to myself hmm-I best not pass this guy. So I hold back and see another lug nut go flying, by this point his rear wheel is shaking pretty bad. Then goes another and another. The car must of went another 1/2 mile before the wheel finally came off. That wheel shot off the car like a bat outa hell. It actually passed the guy (riding on bare drum) like he was standing still. I always torque that **** now. I don't wana drop my FD, after all you'd never be able to get a jack underneath it afterwards. I know this isn't the same thing as the rotor retaining screws but the stories close enough for me to *****. ERr I mean share! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

you can jack up the front/middle until you can slide your spare donut under the rear, then move the jack to the rear...not that i know or anything....Its not like i was driving my 81 GSL and lost the driver rear tire. And it definately didn't pass me and ramp off the sidewalk 15 feet in the air and hit a seafood restaurant. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif
