That being said, the Michelins are relatively cheap. I think I spend $1100 or so when I buy them (I still have wholesale tire accounts). The 18" all terrain tires for my wife's truck are more per set (though they last 40k - 50k miles instead of 8k).

Dunno, just normal torque with my tool … felt O.K. (but is in the digital WSM that I use … ) Need to do the BEDDING now but it's not dry in NL / EU now. Anyone has done that before ?
Yes, these sensors automatically marry themselves to the car after driving a few hundred feet. Very easy!
Thanks for the complete write up! There are two tools that I recommend for this job. They are not necessary, but they are helpful to try to avoid damage to the calipers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QXMGT6X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-29100-Quick-Quad-Spreader/dp/B005GLQCKA/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=caliper+spreader&qid=1604266426&sr=8-5 (however, I didn't try the caliper spreader on the Ferrari yet, but worked great on the mustang brakes with the Brembo option. So not 100% sure it would be good, but not sure why it wouldn't)
He guys, no I have a little problem My battery is not trickled anymore, the connection seems not to work. Trickler Leds do not react as indication. So what now, deduction ... and first thing I see is that the connector from the trickler seems broken. Secondly, I can get no pwer (+) in the dashconnector ..., also not after had it taken out. Anyone has had this ? Is there a fuse for the trickler power socket ? At least not in the didgi WSM or Owners Handbook.

There was a thread a long time ago, explaning wher to get these connectors, especially the SD1327. Can anyone help we with where and how we can find these connectors please ?
One lead I found was that in the fusebox behind the driversseat one fuse F 68 is mentinned as: F78 15 amps +30 Battery charger. At least one lead .... Will let you know my findings next week ..... Image Unavailable, Please Login
And YES … it was this little blue 15 Amps fuse that was blown ! So … if you have this once, look at that fusebox on the LHS, behind the seat. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Found the other fault …. the CTEK was NOT delivering enough trickler pulses. It shows only one bar (level of battery loading) … on a new trickler … EMPTY BATTERY ! Added a simple and cheap $ 30 trickler from a local hardware store: all problems away !! Image Unavailable, Please Login GET RID OF THE OEM CTEK before you will also have problems …. Next morning: full ! Image Unavailable, Please Login
I'm about to change the accessory belt. There is a cover on one of the pulleys that has to get removed. There is one screw that is in a really tight place, does anyone have a trick to get that one off, and on when done? I will be doing it tomorrow, I would love any hints that anyone can give me!
I'll reply to my own post, since I changed it today, lol. There are 3 bolts holding the cover over the power steering pulley. One bolt is hidden behind pipes, so my hand had trouble fitting (you can see it). The technique I used was to use a 1/4 ratchet, with the proper length extension to position it where it can turn, the tricky part is to get the screw once it's loose. I used one of those grabber tools with a flexible shaft, I was able to grab he screw and guide it out when taking it off, and guide it back in when installing. There is also an arrow on the belt, make sure it rotates in the proper direction (clockwise when looking at the belt, and facing the rear of the car). This first time took me about 20 minutes (with a lift), I think I can do the next one comfortably in 10.
Unfortunately I didn't get any photos or video. By the time that I realized that it would be a problem, I was already elbow deep into it, and wasn't planning on even posting anything at the time, I just was focused on getting the thing done. I only decided to post afterwards, once I realized that I may be able to help others from getting frustrated and cursing and screaming, lol. To be honest, it's not that complicated, and if one were to read my post, and look at the situation, it would be fairly obvious. Now that I think about it, I feel like I missed a great opportunity to make a belt replacement tutorial, or even video. Darn it, sorry
