80$ CDN on Amazon. Works like a charm.

Price is in $ CDN. I may have said it was less than 10$, so ok, it was 13$. I much prefer this to using a bunch of washers and grease to create a spacer. A few packs of washers would probably cost nearly the price of this tool. It has a conical feature that centers the lug nut which ain’t bad at all.

Powerstop Geomet coated drums. Probably due to the coating, when I was adjusting the shoes, no hand brake resulted in slight drag and one click meant impossible to turn by hand. It was possible to turn the wheel with difficultly at 1 click with the wheel on. Easiest adjustment I’ve ever done. The coating inside will likely wear out a bit in the next 100 km of driving.

3/4 new studs. Yeah! Managed to push out the stupid cylinder piston while installing the new shoes. Told myself I would never do that again then did it again on the other side. I had recently bled the brakes so I easily cracked open the bleeders and bled both sides and got rid of the air.

Loads of clearance to install the stud from behind. 2 good whacks from a regular hammer and out came the bad studs. No heat, no penetrating oil, nothing. I couldn’t get the “splines” to align with the old ones and it took nearly the highest setting on my impact driver to pull these through with lug nut. I wouldn’t want to attempt this with a wrench.

Opted for the cardinal sin of antiseize. Internet experts will predict my car will blow up after 500 miles. I’d rather not have to deal with a seized plug. NGK says up to 14.5 lb*ft of torque

I opted for Iridum IX, lower life but higher performance plugs which I will likely change after 50k kilometers or so.

Old plugs, cylinder 1 through 4, from left to right. Electrode gap still looks ok but there are some whiteish deposits on the insulator and the ground electrode, probably from leaky valve seals.

Cylinder 2 coil pack had some noticeable red/terra Cotta looking marks. I wonder what this could be.

Looks like the coil pack bolts have never been removed. The two rusted heads were for cylinders two and three, probably because the py didn’t get the rust preventative oil bath from the previous owner that added oil like it was a champagne shower.
