Hey all,
my front rotors are completely shot and deeply grooved as well as my pads almost completely burned through. I just ordered some brembo blanks and am about to pick up some axxis metal masters pads from the local shop. What i need to know is the following:
1)What parts do i need aside from the pads and rotors?
2)What tools/supplies do i need for this operation?
3)Where should i look for a procedure on how to do this installation?
4) Do i need to bleed the system?

Sorry for the lengthy post but i want to do this job right and i know some of you can really help. oh and i searched..came up with nothing too helpful.

yes, you will need to bleed the system, and you need two people to do this

 

&gt;&gt;1)What parts do i need aside from the pads and rotors?&lt;&lt;
Brake fluid, brake parts cleaner is okay to have,but not a "must."

2)What tools/supplies do i need for this operation?
YOu need a ratchet, a 14mm socket, an impact driver, a hammer, and a c-clamp to recompress the piston back in to the caliper.

&gt;&gt;3)Where should i look for a procedure on how to do this installation?&lt;&lt;

There's a link furnised on ntpog.org in addition to the one listed in the above post.

&gt;&gt;4) Do i need to bleed the system?&lt;&lt;
If you're only replacing pads & rotors, and not touching the lines, etc. then no, you won't need to bleed, but you'll need to top off the brake fluid resevior b/c it'll leak out some fluid when you recompress the piston. It's a really easy job, and while yuo're at it, you should go your tranny fluid, too.

 

thanks guys! if you have any tips or suggestions that'd be great too.

good call. the last time i changed my pads i had a problem getting the piston to compress. so i opened the line and released the fluid. at which point i had to bleed them. forgot about that :hammer, soory for the misinformation
