Re: Stupid brake repair tricks 200

Hi, Evan. Just did the rear brake pads on my '90 yesterday.

Always order the hardware kit along with the brake pads - you never know what will break or fly off to an alternate universe until you get in there.

To reinstall the pins on the ATE rear calipers, I use my hammer - but not in the usual way. I press them in with the claw end of my 20 oz. straight claw hammer. As you did, I used the little attachment aft of the caliper as the fulcrum. No hammering needed, the handle is plenty long enough to provide sufficient force. Be careful of the bleeder valve when doing the top pin.
