brake

[Splat]

I just ordered new Brembo rotors and brake pads.

I've seen a brake job performed before, but I've never ventured to replace a rotor.

Who wants to help a brother out with this?

[defiler]

I'd say me, if you werent so far away...



To do it, you need:

Impact screwdrive (If the rotor is held in by rotor screws)
Socket set
Big torks bits (cant remember if 2nd gen calipers are held on by these or not. If so, T-50 or T-55 in size)
Big hammer
anti-seize
box wrenches, 10, 14, 15, 17mm
c-clamp or special tool to push in front claiper pistons
tool to turn in rear caliper pistons





Come up this way and Ill do it for free:)

Yeah, or if you're planning on throwing away the old rotors a big ass sledge hammer or long 2x4 will replace a few of those things. :smokin:

[Splat]

yeah, I'll probably have to go to someone's place to get it done.

Seeing as I only have the simplest of tools.
hammer
socket set with missing pieces. Probably the 10 and 12mm socket because those are the two you use most on the probes and mx6s.
probably a crescent wrench or two,

I have a full arsenal of tools for any job. Only problem is they dont move too well:lol: And as of Saturday, I will have a 3-bay garage to do work in:thup:

[Splat]

can't do it saturday.

not this weekend, the next weekend is the wax meet with the vette guys.

if you wanna come with.

or I can stop at your place first, do the brakes, then you can follow me.

[defiler]

I cant do it that weekend. I'll be out of town for my bachelor party.

[Splat]

then you fail on several accounts...

[defiler]

Actually I am t3h w1nn4r!

[Splat]

I'm not going to the cities for quite a while.
