I have googled and I have shmoogled and I'm still bamboozled. So I asked. I am new to all of this, and did not really see much difference in resurface vs deglaze, etc. I don't know if that is just terminology or if it matters at all.
Sorry if this has been discussed already, but I haven't turned up any threads on this.
This weekend I finally got a jack and some stands and while I had one of my front wheels off I saw the brake pad was looking pretty crusty/flaky so I figured it was probably time to replace them.
In 2017...
Learning a lot since this is the first vehicle I've ever worked on.
Had some help from a couple buddies and we got valve cover gaskets and related knocked out:
Ended up having to do the driver side twice since it spurted some oil the first time (it was tricky the first time, but really easy...
I traced the wire for the Front LH Speed Sensor, and turns out it was not looking so hot:
I replaced that with one of the $30 or so dollar ones from Amazon, and my dash lights cleared as soon as I turned the ignition. Brakes felt just fine, and in fact more responsive than before I replaced...
Hi, thanks. I would usually try to go OEM, but money is short these days, so a quick fix is alright just for the moment.

Thanks, Michael. There are usually several cruisers parked out front, so it's either you or another cruiser-head haha. I've actually got several issues I'm trying to work through at the moment.
This weekend, if everything goes according to plan, I'll have a buddy coming to help me replace...
I ordered these from the website as well. I'm not in a place to spend tons of money at the moment, and the price was right. Although, it does seem to be back-ordered until at least July at the moment.
The virus actually worked out for me since my 100 is my daily driver and definitely needs some work, but I won't need to drive for a while now. I'm working on diagnosing some things (the main one being the ABS, yikes!), and then it will be sitting in my MIL's driveway for a bit while I attempt...
I had the alternator and battery checked the other day at autozone and they were fine. That may just be the car sitting since I'm working from home at the moment.
The brake component codes are certainly what I am worried about.
My ABS, VSC OFF, and VSC TRAC lights came on the other day and have not turned off. I got a hold of techstream and pulled these codes:
Would it be worth even trying to replace the LH Speed Sensor to see if the codes clear, or does this definitely mean that my MC/Booster are getting the kiss...
This is going to be my first post, so I hope this was the appropriate thread.
I've got an 00 that I inherited a couple years ago...a bit neglected. I had a shop install a new steering rack and pinion around that time, and that is pretty much the extent of what's been touched on the steering...
