i checked out the vid.

do we need to do everything that he did? like that part when he "bled" the brakes? or can we just simply replace and put that back in?

can someone tell me the torque specs for all the bolts? ... since he said it was important to do it right.

by any chance, can someone list the tools needed? since this will certainly makes things easier than running back and fourth to the auto store..

No, you dont have to bleed anything, because you are not removing the caliper.

i cant post the website here that has pretty good diy, but go to google and type this:

acura tl rotor pads diy

u will get a bunch of diys. Impact Screwdriver, C-clamp, and a lot of patience, is all you need. good luck

Thread started by me a while ago when i had the same questions...has all you need:
https://acurazine.com/forums/ramblings-12/christina-aguilera-show-e-108905/


basically:
1) remove rims
2) use impact screw driver to loosen the two bolts (see thread)
3)rotors should slide right out OR, hammer them out.
HAMMER HARD, the rotors wont even get scratched so dont be scared to hit em hard

and backwards to put back on




no c-clamp or jackstands needed...no patience needed either...hit the impact screw driver hard and then wack the rotor
