Default DIY For Brakes or not???

Basically in our tech section we have a front rotor install, a rear rotor install, pad installs and line installs and a bleeding guide but not everything in one... I'm getting ready to do all this in like two hours and I was wondering if anyone wanted me to do a guide for a total brake job and take pics along the way. If not no offense taken if so I'll do it sometime this weekend and post it... so vote away

sure! could always use some good pics to go along with an install. the DIY are usually a lot easier to follow with step by step pictures of bolts etc. it's always easier going out there knowing exactly what you're looking at/for!

well imagine a sound that sounds like bare pad hitting rotor... but its not... its not the e brake backing plate, its not a seized caliper (pad wear was normal on both sides) and the kicker is this:

grinding noise only occurs AFTER I mount my wheel... im thinking it might be a wheel bearing
