I have decided change my brake rotor to better ones and here is my story
![]() 1. Brembo max disc ordered... ![]() ![]() not cheapest but reasonable price for "plug-and-play" part. 2. removing wheel nice to have tools... - usual tools for wheel take off - something for stubborn screws (like WD-40) - hammer (handy every time ![]() - wrench 17 and 14 ![]() 3. removing caliper by those two screws remove caliper away... ![]() ...by two wrenches (like picture below showing... one for holding, and second for un-screwing... sorry I can't describe that better ![]() ![]() 4. removing brake pads and caliper mounting remove pads is easy, that hardest part are caliper mountings held by two screws... ![]() those two bolts were rusted and stubborn unbelievably!!! W/o WD-40... (and hammer help sometimes) it could not be done... my car almost fell off the lifting jack during that ![]() ![]() 5. removing rotor ![]() nothing but rust holds that disc -> just gently knock on and it fell off... ![]() you can see all that rust (after hammer work ![]() 6. just make it look good and re-assemble everything... now it's done... just put everything back on (plus in my case use some direct-to-rust-metal-paint for rusted parts). note: you maybe would need push back caliper piston if new rotor is wider or you change brake pads (recommended) by some pliers like this: ![]() (I don't know how you call that) plus: QUOTE(azian_advanced @ Feb 19, 2007 - 4:42 PM) [snapback]528279[/snapback] ...just as a tip, lubricate the inside of the pistons inside the rubber seal. And results you can see below ![]() ![]() ![]() enjoy ![]() This post has been edited by malpaso: Feb 20, 2007 - 1:56 AM -------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution...
