You'll thing different after your car comes back from the shop with stripped bolts, a cracked fuel line with the filter installed backwards.

Interesting thread.

Wiring is one of the few things I don't mind after having worked in a competition only stereo shop in high school.

Interior, wiring.........I'll do those. If I had a lift I wouldn't mind doing just about anything except driveline work.

Jobs I won't do simply because I lack the proper tools/equipment....

Mounting/balancing tires
Body & paint work
Rear wheel bearings
Electrical (I'm just an utter bonehead in this dept.)
Interior repairs (can't sew)
Machine work
Welding (never tried - don't feel like making my car a practice platform)
Carbon fiber stuff (sorry, no autoclave :-P )
Cryogenic freezing

[ldsbeaker]

welding, tires, and alignments. ALL other stuff I'll at least try...

[Money$hit]

Wheel bearings. Any of them.
Rears are a PITA and everyone knows that, but my last front WB snapped my 1/2" drive extension, ripping a massive gash in my hand about 10 hours before an autox.
I still pwned everyone with a bandaged hand.

Are they really that bad? How do you know they are going bad? Under hard acceleration, my car kinda like chatters and vibrates from the passenger side rear. I think its the bearings, but is there any way to know for sure?

How much does a shop charge to do both rears?

[Delphinitive]

a wheel bearing that is on its way out makes a "waa-waa-waa" kind of sound at speed.
never done the rears, i just know it's a bitch cause you need to have that tool or make one. pretty sure the shop charges a shitload

[DCColegrove]

Nothing...

I'm the poor SOB you all bring the hard jobs to...

But I must admit, having a shop with all the necessary equipment makes a lot of the jobs you guys whine about much simpler.
