brakes write up (front only)

Ryguy33 · February 8th, 2010, 08:57 PM

what you will need.

12mm socket
extension
rachet
penetrating spray
tounge and grove plyers

1.) loosen your lug nuts.
2.) jack the car up and put jack stands under your car.

3.) take the lugnuts off and take you wheel off
4.) turn your steering wheel so its easyer to access the bolts

5.) take the 2 bolts off with your 12mm socket

6.) if they wont budge use some penetrating spray

7.) next take the caliper off and put aside on a jack stand

8.) next you will need to compress the pistons on the caliper.
you do this by using the old break pad to apply force evenly and squezing with your plyers

9.) lay the new pads on the holders. (make sure to transfer the metal clips)

10.) re-install caliper and torque down to factory settings and enjoy.

nice write up bro, this one has to go in the how to section.....what are the benifits of a stock rotor vs. a cross-drill one???

HMUSN · February 8th, 2010, 09:24 PM

Nice write up. You should probably include the part about using lubricant on the banjo bolts and pads though.
