posted by  someone claiming to be Phil Stone on  Tue Jul 10 13:05 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Me again,

Gonna change front brake rotors tomorrow(weather permitting)and it looks pretty staight forward.I got the rotors, new pads, brake cleaner,caliper hardware and a good set of tools.I sprayed the caliper bolts with PB Blaster a day in advance.

Here is how I think it's done....

1. jack up car, remove wheel.

2. remove old pads.

3.clean calipers with brake cleaner.

4.unbolt caliper, hang out of way w/coathanger.

5. remove my old grooved rotors.

6.clean hubs.

7.install new rotors.

8.replace calipers,torque bolts to specs.

9.install new pads,anti-squeal backing plates, and hardware.

10. reinstall wheels,lower car, torque wheel bolts.

11.step on brake a few times to set pads.

12. Go for a test drive/stop.

13. go easy on the brakes for a while.

What am I forgeting, anything else I need to know?

Thanks as usual, Phil Stone
