Good luck OP, sounds like a good time to pick up some non-chrome wheels.

Damn, I would have a hard time typing proper English if I were in your situation. That’s one hell of a sad curb….

good luck man, hope all works out for you

dr venture you are right (not about the tipsy part) thats exactly what i need. i just got done buying everything just no the knuckle...

i will start taking off everything now. and just wait in till everything comes in.

oh an about the rim i don't know i like them but they are too expensive to just buy one (410$ for one not including tier) an i am about to be a dad on november 2 =)
so i might buy different once but there so many out there lol an i can only afford 2( so if i do ill be righting 2 different set of rims lol)

you mean the Ebrake cable? i believe you have to remove it when you remove the rotor. you have to detach it from inside the "drum" or "hat" section of the rotor. Inside that you have the ebrake shoes.

you have to hammer the rotor apart form the spindal. Its probably a bit rusted on

Still betting the subframe is bent to hell. Guess you will find out when you get it aligned.

Basically yes, even with fully adjustable arms it will be way off. Find out soon enough.
