My 96 Taurus rear brake caliper compression mission...you gotta read this one! Anybody gotta beer?

Oh yeah yesterday on the Parkway we had a job to do. My brakes on the old 96 Taurus began scrubbing real hard. so I took off the rear drivers side wheel and said HELLO! these are disc brakes an easy fix...never say anythang is an easy fix on the parkway. Let me splain it to yall. I went out to the tool shed and grab a clamp and began to compress the caliper...only it would not budge,in fact it messed up the clamp...so I went up to O'Reily and got a huge clamp.. that did no good..then I got on line and asked around and low and behold. the brake caliper needs to be screwed back in..seems everytime you back up the self-adjusting parking brake turns out to compensate for brake pad wear..wow those guys a ford need their butts whipped for throwing in that little monkey wrench.I didn't get the memo! Speaking of wrenchs you need a special; tool $11 called a rubik's cube.Thats it pictured in the blog there.cool huh? It fits on a 3/8 rachet extension and has tips that matchup with holes in the caliper.You screw it clockwise and the caliper goes in. I takes 2 rednecks to do this,one to hold the caliper and another to twist the dang rachet and cuss.After I got the caliper compressed the rest was easy...cept fer one thang...the brakes kinda smell a little like they may be overheating..but heck the way my wife burns up the parkway everyday them pads will be smooth as owl dooky before long. or either glazed over and lost 50% of they stopping power..hay wait. shes been driving it like that for 5 years anyway.LOL!

WHY DID I LOVE MY JOB?

Its true I really love this job ! I am like a kid in a candy shop around this old place . I am the last man standing, I am the only employee, I am the mack daddy, of the appliance parts world ...at least on this part of mobile .heeheehe I worked most of my life doing service work of some sort or other ,and on many occasions I would be in and out of this old shop. In its heyday, it was a hustling bustling, good place to buy appliance parts, In fact it was the only place to get parts for this area, for many years, and this old place has tons of old parts and phone numbers and names of guys and ghosts a plenty . and it keeps reinventing it self because of all these hard to find parts that we have laying around. let me tell you a story : around 1995, after I had just finished a maintenance job I was on, I didnt have much to do, so I went down and hung out with mr fred. mr fred was an old man with tons of knowledge, and I felt like I needed to soak in some of it, and he always told me, Jw, you hang around now, because I aint gonna be here forever, I want you to take over for me, and run this place . and one of his dreams was to one day be able to access the world wide web, if he could only do that, what a broad base of knowledge could be had! mr fred would be sitting around and his nephew jimmy would sell a part, and the customer would be headed out the door, and mr fred would say hey neighbor what ya working on? and he would check out the part and say, naw that aint whats wrong, and he would tell the customer just what to do, and jimmy would have to refund the money . that was mr fred his motto was to have one part for every need and to never sell a part that would not fix the problem. to this day I always check supposed defective parts. well I hung around the old man for a week or two and jimmy asks me, are you working here? well if you are, go sign a w4. that was my hiring! I stayed late on weekends, and we fixed all kinds of things . mr fred could take an ac in that was hit by lightning, and remove the touchpad controls and put in old fashioned mercury bulb and fan switches . that was cool.he never turned down a job large or small . from a coffee pot to a 5 ton ac unit, mr fred was the man. he could wire anything .and he taught me this, above all things, that no matter how tough things might be, or how hard things might seem, or how high the mountains were to climb, them mountains COULD be climbed! I wish I knew 1/6th of the stuff he knew ,He was a very powerful old man with knowledge of the ages in his head.
this place draws me like a magnet everyday ,Its just an old tin building but each day brings challenges with new customers problems and its nice to be able to take each customer on with a a smile and make them happy .I am my own boss most of the time anyway ,Its up to me to make this whole thing rock and roll, It is a challenge that I love most dearly, and when it stops being fun I will quit and get a legit job! lol !

IS MY TIMER BAD?

when the washer dryer or other appliance quits most folks assume its the timer, why the motor couldnt posibly be bad, the machine aint but twenty years old ! how can you know if its the timer? well brother let me give yall a little advice (I has a BS degree) remember that! lol
case in point:
the wife tells me the clothes are still in washing mode for an hour now, shes says , she says" why dont you get of yer lazy a$$ and go check it out, Mr Appliance!" I naturally strut out towards the utility room with a coupla beers just to humor her. when I get there I see the washer washing away. so I stop it, and move the timer over to spin, and let er rip. she pumps, and spins. I go back inside.
2 hours later my wife tells me the washer is still spinning out. we really need to rinse the clothes darling. haha, so I grab a few beer and ditty bop out to the laundry room and place the timer in the rinse mode. well I hear some music playing up at the zebra lounge and wander off to the bar . I come back three hours later and I put her on spin and grab a few more beers. I am listening to an all blues saturday night,and, I am totally in the dog house now, because of a dang timer. Did I mention the wife dont like for the sultan of dog river (the mutha of all mullets) to go to the bar?, anyway, the timer can give you some answers if you look into it, thats right open it up! Do an inspection! The same goes for washers or dryers.
Take a look, but be vewy vewy careful, if it comes ta pieces, you will have to buy another, because even mother goose couldnt put humpty dumpty back together again!
If it looks like a scene from backdraft 2 inside yer timer you can be purty certain its the timer!
Its takes a keen eye and a steady hand and a few beers ! and thats just to put it back together! Or better yet brang the dang thang down here and we can both cuss over it .If the timer looks good inside then you might want to take a look at the motor ,that is if the appliance wont run at all.
now about the motor,if its real stiff to turn it could be bad, if its smelling like a toaster you mom had from goodwill for fourty years,If it sounds like annnnnnnnnnk! when you try to start it, or if you have been reaching into the dryer for the last five years and spining the drum to get it started ,it might be the motor. The mullet can look at it, talk about it, pray over it, and locate it, if he aint got it.
also the timer (if its determined by me to be bad) can be possibly rebuilt by yankees in michigan, for a substantial savings, if I deem it to be repairable.
the bottom dollar is either the drive motor or the contacts or the crapola scattered inside your timer might be bad, but might NOT be bad, and timers are not a refundable part, SO DONT WASTE YER HARD EARNED MONEY!, ask the expert! or if he aint around check with yours trully , heehee! I can BS with the best of em.
