The new goodies



Wheels removed

Remove caliper (Two 13mm bolts)
Also if you remove the 10mm brake hose bracket on the lower control arm, you should have enough room in the brake hose to lay the caliper on the ground without stressing the hose out.


Remove caliper bracket bolts (17 or 18mm i can't remember)

Use very large channel locks and one of the old brake pads to squeeze the pistons in. Or a large C clamp and an old brake pad

At this point the rotor should come off of the spindle

Packing the inner bearings


Clean the grease seal if you arent replacing it

thanks and thanks

 

great write up!

 

nice write up
i need to do this sometime..

whats the story with the front valence there sneaky? lol

 

what valence?

 

Very nice write-up.

Hawk pads are the best I also like the fact that you went with slotted rotors only. (drilled and slotted are trash).

You should add a link as to where we can purchase this stuff that would complete the write-up.
