doeos anybody have a DIY for brakes?!

 

id professionally install brakes...not only cuz im a newb on DIY things but brakes are too important to install by oneself IMO

 

removing the whole brake assembly, bleeding, changing rotors/pads, bbk upgrade, pakring brake addjustment...what exactly are you looking for....brakes are not something a diy could really be made for...you have to know what your doing

 

oh...btw doing brakes sucks ass...bleedings a pain, even with a preasureized bleeder

 

im just replacing the brake pads thats all. i have a DIY on rotors. just need one for prake pads

 

remove 2 bolts that hold caliper on. get a big C clamp push in the piston insert new pads and reassemble. start car and pump brakes a few times. brakes are not hard to do at all

 

shit i forgot to get the c clamp. is it possible to do it any other way?! tomo is sunday and i think mostly everything is gonna be closed

 

you can bolt it back into place (with 1 or both bolts depending on what you have to use to pry)with out the pads on, then if you have a flat pry bar you can push it back into place. it shouldnt be that hard to press back in. if you can find a big set of channel locks you can use them too. run to walmart, or just about any parts store. they should be open and have something.

 

thanks man, maybe i can just run to autozone and pick up the c clamp. i went there today and not a single person had any idea what a impact screwdriver was. i felt like smaking them.

 

i did mine today i got slotted drilled rotors put in and new axiss brake pads need to break them in so far so good i loke the way they look. Should have painted my brakes red while i was at it but oh well easy project with the help of my cousin who is a mechanic. impact screwdriver very important.

 

yea u got pretty much everything down, remove the calipers, take out old brake pads, use c clamp or if u dont have one use ne thing flat and gently hammer the piston down. dont forget to remove the metal protectors or whatever they are that are on the orginal brake pads and put them on the new ones. each brake pad should have 1 metal peice that goes around the pad. also removing the brake fluid cap in the engine pay releases the air pressure so pushing back down the piston will be alot easier. after everything is done jus pump the brakes and your'e set.

 

here's an easy to follow diy
