Push like your life depends on it while turning clockwise. On my first attempt at changing my pads I made the mistake of turning ccw and the piston came out of its rubber seal. I spent almost 2 hours trying to get it back in only to have my brother come and do it in 5 minutes.

is the rotor itself the bolt?i haven't tried to remove it before but that doesn't seem like too difficult a task.

i'm guessing they would tell me i have to take it up with the shop as well. i was hoping to save myself the trip over there.

going with ViS as well? i've been looking into carbon fiber hoods (since i bashed my grill in on a 740 il :'( ) and i think i will be ordering one as well. where did you order from?

glad to see i wasn't the only one with these brake issues. take that parents who think i'm a rough driver!! i started noticing the speed wobble thing around 20k, and my dealer told me the front rotors were warped, but are wear and tear and couldn't be covered. (eekfu) vegas! so plans now are to...
