D'oh! Brain Phartte. I still haven't caught up on my sleep after last
weekend. I had to pull the calipers to reshim and repack the bearings
and trashed the locktabs in the process. I also need to change from
the Porterfield LD48-R4 (race compound) to the R4S (street compound)
pads and my poor tired brain was cojoining those two tasks into one. I
think that I was confusing them with my old Honda brakes where you'd
pull one bolt and the whole assembly would twist off.
That does remind me that I need to get cotter pins too.

I've found something worse than oldies station that play the music I used to
listen to. Oldies stations that play the "new" music I used to complain about.
