RE: GTV6 rear brakes

["Jeff Greenfield" <alfaguy@domain.elided>]

Graham -

It's been a long time since I've done rear brakes on a GTV6. But I seem to
recall being able to use a 3/8" drive socket, a short extension and a 3/8
drive air impact wrench.

Makes short work of the job at hand.

However, not all people have an air compressor and a full complement of air
tools in their home garages ...

Thanks! At least know I know it _is_ possible. Looks like I need to look
into the milano set up as well.  I guess I'm going wrench shopping tonight.

Thanks!
