[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you male or female, OP? Also, are you aware of the problems with low quality car parts from China? I do my own brakes. I know how to do more, but the tools and time required make it challenging. Being a woman, I lack the upper body strength to loosen and lift some things. It’s frustrating. [/quote] OP here I'm a guy. Sexual dimorphism definitely helps with grip strength, yeah. But if it's any consolation, you could probably run me into the ground. At 6' and 205lbs, I'm plenty strong, but I hate hate hate jogging. Yeah, ChiCom replacement parts are a crapshoot. Some are fine, some are absolute junk. I try to get well known parts from NAPA or other reputable manufacturers, but even they source from China sometimes. OEM parts are even Chinese sometimes. That's awesome that you do your own brakes! You're probably the only woman you know who does that I'd bet! [/quote]
