Brake Pad Change (No Pics)
#36
would anybody consider putting pictures to the instructions just so we can bring the comp right out to car while performing the pad swap? .... i know what someone is going to say .... "how much clearer can it get" ... well - for someone (like myself) that has never bothered changing the pads and has always taken it to a shop .... seeing the pictures before I go out side and knowing 100% what everything looks like .... It would help. I think that some other guys/girls might feel the same way. I know I can follow directions and do exactly what it says (and eveybody says its easy to do) but it does help knowing what things look like even before hand.

ok well I was planning to change my brakes but when I took the old ones out they were fine.....plenty of brakes left but these are some of the pics I took which would be the process in changing them
front brakes
after taking the wheels off
step 1: locate the top bolt and use a 14mm socket and pry it loose

step 2: swing the caliper down and the brake pad will be exposed

step 3: note the way u take the brake pad out which will be the same way u put the new one on..also note the metal brackets as im sure u will use those again (im not sure since I didnt change mine)

thats as far as I got but when u do change them u will need a c-clamp to compress the piston so the caliper goes over the new brake pad then just bolt it up again using the 14mm socket
after all this is u will need to bleed ur brake as well as add ur brake fluid.
Im not sure if I covered everything as im in a rush to get out and to swimming...lol
but if I did forget anything let me know so I can edit this...
also this is to be used as a guide so i will not be responsible for any damaged caused...
gracias....
