    new break pads front

    just put on new front sintered break pads, been putting it off as thought it was harder to do than it was, went pretty easy, hardest part was getting the pistons to push back into the calipers so new pads would fit in, a little pushing and prying got the job done Had to clean up the break pad pins as they were crusty. Now it is life begins @ 140mph

    Re: new break pads front

    we know that procedure...
    congratulations, you´re an official wrench now.
    what brand did you buy?


    wayyy more interresting is: did you find a way how to remove the brake dust from your hands after the job is finished?
    the question is: who cares?!

    Re: new break pads front

    Well, did you care to clean them pistons a lil before you pushed them back in?
    Just checking man!
    My hands are tied,
    The billions shift from side to side,
    And the wars go on with brainwashed pride,
    For the love of God and our human rights....
