[V6-12v] Rotor replacement

[Clive Young]

Hi Guys, just a quick FYI with regard to front rotor replacement ( I got
twobrembos  for $107 from autohausaz.com )

 

I did it a little differently to the way I normally do and it was FAST. Took
off the 2 17mm bolts holding the carrier to the hub. ( you may need a
breaker bar or a impact gun ). Slid the caliper off and put it on my upside
down garbage can from my office. Swapped rotors, took the inboard pad out
and compressed the pistons with my handy grip clamps. Put the carrier back
on with antiseize on the bolts. Had both sides done in less than an hour. (
don't forget to spray the new rotors with brake cleaner as they are coated
with oil to prevent corrosion ) . 

 

I did the brakes last year so I know the slider pins are fine, and you have
to take the carrier off anyway to do the rotors. I just saved a whole bunch
of steps and a lot of messing around.
