Install in reverse order. For Disc pads, remove wheel, use a "C" clamp to depress piston, pads should fall out. Install in reverse order. Or Go to the library and borrow a chiltons. Or google a car repair site. |

Silver Member Username: Surferdude9371Fully loaded 18 BTL Post Number: 224 Registered: Mar-07 | also btw make sure u use the old pad if u use just the c clamp ul depress the piston all the way which not only is uneeded but its bad to do |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 2551 Registered: Mar-06 | You only need to bleed them if you open the brake lines. If you dont open them, dont bleed them. You will let air in if you dont know what your doing. And when I say dont open them I mean dont turn any bleeder screws, or back off any brake lines. If thats part of the job, then you will need to bleed them. But a simply pad job does not involve bleeding. http://www.edmunds.com/ownership/howto/articles/43787/article.html |

Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 7738 Registered: Jun-06 | I had my brakes done and rotors replaced by a "well known" establishment. Dude behind the counter tried to convince me he has his brakes done twice a year. I looked at him like he had 14 eyes. I don't trust ANY mechanic. I paid over $400 for my brake job and probably only $150 was parts.  |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 2555 Registered: Mar-06 | Spay em with wd40, then use a torch, and a pipe on the wrench. I assume your talking about the caliper bolts? They freeze up due to the heat/cool cycle. But soak em for a while then torch em till they are hot. Hit em with a hammer, then put a longer pipe on your ratchet. BTW, Use a Sears ratchet, cause you may break it. I used a box wrenck with a piece of 2' pipe on it. Dont worry about breaking thoose bolts either. your wrenches will break before they will. Worst case, You may have to drill em out, and re-tap the thing. But thats a lot of work. Spay they hell out of it tonight and let it soak over night. BTW, use break cleaner to get rid of the wd40 after your done. |
