Hello /o/. Please help with a few questions. I'm a turbo normie compared to this board. That said, I have normie questions that Google doesn't seem to want to give me a straight answer to.
I intend to rotate my tires. Do I need another alignment? The car was/is as straight as an arrow when I first put the new tires on 10k miles ago.
When flushing the transmission fluid, does it matter if the car is still hot? Should I let it cool down first just for safety reasons? Or does it not matter
Lastly, when I changed my rotors/pads, one of the brake caliper bracket bolts was seized and snapped off the very top inside the bracket itself. I intend to buy a new bracket. Does the bracket usually include new bolts as well?
Sorry to be a bother. A /k/ommando anime grill for your time

Nah
Nah (Just don't fucking burn yourself)
Probably, make sure the stuff you're buying comes with the required hardware
Also this is something that belongs in qtddtot (questions that dont deserve their own thread), as it really isn't a discussion topic, but just basic questions.

I'm sorry. Didn't even know /o/ had a QTDDTOT
Figured that was only on /fit/ or like SQT on /g/. Thanks for the responses. I'll let the thread 404 then.

>Do I need another alignment?
Not unless you bash the hell out of it or change the suspension parts. A decent alignment should hold for years. I often get my wheels rebalanced during yearly inspection just because I like that smooth feeling but most drivers wouldn't even notice.
>Should I let it cool down first just for safety reasons?
If it's hot don't burn yourself. If it's winter and it's sludge maybe go for a quick drive and let it cool back down slightly.

No. You'll need to get new bolts. Also treat yourself to some anti-sieze paste. It'll make your life easier next time you need to take it apart. Just be careful what you touch because it will leave permanent stains on your clothes etc. Simple Green or pumice hand cleaner or something of that nature will get your hands clean again so you can touch things again if you get it on yourself.

I swear /k/ is the only board I'm torn between admiring for the sheer knowledge it has, and despising for the LARPing and this kind of weebshit.
