i recently purchase slotted rotors and pads from stoptech and planning to do the swap over the weekend. Just wondering if you guys can give me some pointers/tips for the job.

 

if you havent already, look up mrheeltoes guide to getting the "pin" off the rotor.

I didnt have luck using his method. So i took an extra bolt that i had and screwed it into the rotor, pushing it off the "screw"
I heard a loud pop, and I knew that I could just screw the "pin" out.

the pin looks like its very easy to get off. it looks like all you have to do is take a phillips screw driver to it. but believe me, you either need an impact driver or mrheeltoes method.
or do what i did and just screw an EXTRA bolt in.

when i say extra, it means youre going to be destroying that bolt.


Here is a picture....

as you can see, the two screws are circled.



the yellow circles are where you bolt in the extra bolts.....

 

thanks i'll look into that. ive searched around and found that you have to clean your rotors with something (which i can't remember) or it'll cause problems? and other tips will be grealt yappreciated

 

brake cleaner?

you just want a clean and perfect working space.

 

Anyone know how much brake fluid I need to do a brake fluid flush?

 

Be careful with the brake fluid, I just had my calipers on my Type-S replaced due to Acura not doing a very good job cleaning up after the flush/service. The clear started coming off.

 

Thanks for the advice but mine's a base so Ill be fine on that end.
