QuackDamnYou

As a few of you know from my consistent bitching in the Shitcrate...I need new front brakes. Rotors and Pads. I'm going to do it myself...no, I don't have a book. It's a floating hub design. Take the wheels off, remove the two 17mm for the caliper, and two more 17mm to get the brake pads off, then bang the rotors off.. At least, that's what I was told on the DSM board. However...they are all dumbasses over there, and you rotary freaks know way more than they do.



I can do the rotors easy, pads too. However, I have gotten mixed responses about bleeding the brakes and pushing the piston back into the caliper to replace the pads. Someone shed some light on this, I don't want to bust a caliper seal like my brother did with his jeep and have no brakes.

make sure during bleeding you keep the reservoir topped off...

work your way around each line.. startin from the furthest from the reservoir..

you can bleed yourself if you have the self actuating bleeder screws..

if not.. youll need a buddy to assist you while he.she pressurizes the system via brake pedal..

and you lossen.tighten the bleeder screw..

you can move onto the next caliper once you see clean fluid and detect no air bubbles...

this is done with a clear hose.. make sure its tightly connected to the the bleeder screw btw...

btw.. make sure you dont get this stuff on your paint..

if you cant move the piston on the caliper via clamp.. they may need to be turned
