HMUSN · September 19th, 2007, 06:16 PM

what do you need to know?

MustangMatt96GT · September 19th, 2007, 06:25 PM

dont know yet
i havent started! lol

Im just about to though!

HMUSN · September 19th, 2007, 06:29 PM

it's pretty easy to do man.

jack up the car
take the tire off

take off the 2 caliper bolts.
take off the 2 caliper housing bolts

that's a bout it.

once all the bolts are off I would support the caliper to the shock with rubber bands.. you don't want to let it hang.. you can damage the brake line like that.

once you support it just take the rotor off.
it comes right off.. it's a floating rotor.

Ive already told him how to do the front, but he cant get the caliper bracket bolts off, even with is impact. tried a cheater pipe too, and couldnt get it. Matt just aint got enough ass to break it loose.

HMUSN · September 19th, 2007, 06:33 PM

try lubing it and letting it sit for a bit first.

oh and "righty tighty lefty loosy"

ujslost · September 19th, 2007, 06:35 PM

lmao, He let it set with PB blaster on it and still could not get it

it's mustangmatt, not me

ujslost · September 19th, 2007, 06:49 PM

i think his impact is just not strong enough.

HMUSN · September 19th, 2007, 06:50 PM

I prefer using the cheater bar method myself.

it's more of a controlled pressure.

ujslost · September 19th, 2007, 07:03 PM

Impacts FTW!

But then again I use them all day long at work. When that dont work, 2 wrenches or a cheater bar work like magic. I dont suggest using an impact on every bolt for installation. Break shit fast that way.

MustangMatt96GT · September 19th, 2007, 07:12 PM

yeah! lol

MustangMatt96GT · September 19th, 2007, 07:21 PM

MustangMatt96GT · September 19th, 2007, 07:30 PM

nevermind

MustangMatt96GT · September 19th, 2007, 07:40 PM

thanks i have that printed out!

ujslost · September 19th, 2007, 07:43 PM

no need to

MustangMatt96GT · September 19th, 2007, 10:24 PM

well having trouble to press them im completely, but i have more than the stock knurl in the end of the axle. You can see the difference in length between the stock and ARP stud knurl. and then how much it is sticking through. I feel that i am safe, because I have more than the stock length of knurl sticking through, I just wanted more opinions!!

Ccash00 · September 20th, 2007, 06:31 PM

You definetly need to get it all the way in or they could get pulled in while your driving and make your wheel loose.

MustangMatt96GT · September 20th, 2007, 06:56 PM

I got them in completely! I just finished that wheel today! Ill do the other on Sunday!
