Removing the Front Rotors There are two bolts that hold the shoe to the hub. they are 17mm and are on there pretty good. I had a breaker bar to get them loose. would not want to do it with just one box end wrench. Anyway remove both bolts and pull the shoe out. Now rock the brake rotor...

Removing the Front Brake Pads First remove the Spring clip that is going from pad to pad. Each pad is just sitting on the rails of the shoe at each end. The clips are only there to reduce rattle they arn't really keeping the pads in there tight. Pull then away from the rotor and out. Note...

Rebuilding the Front Calipers First remove the dust shield. Just tug on it. If need be you can you a screwdriver to wedge in there just a bit to get the first part loose then pull the rest. Now clamp the caliper down. Put a rag or two to catch the piston. It will move slowly at first then...

First I started by loosening the bolt that holds the Caliper to the shoe. I left it threaded in a turn or two. But you want it easy to remove once you pull out the banjo bolt. It will keep from making too big of a mess. You'll want to put a drain pan or some thing under you work to catch all the...

Yea i got the rebuild kit for 5. I'm midway thru the process. Taking pics the whole way.

I took the shocks and struts out. replaced them with a new set of Tokico Blues. I broke one of the nuts while replacing the sway bar bushings. Not a big deal since a buddy of mine (wildo) is making us both a set of DIY Clunk Fix brackets that will accept the stock bushing and horseshoe. I'll...

Ok I did a bit of research. I've got a new set of dust boots and gaskets and am going to do a full rebuild. I'm taking pics and will post a complete how to when i'm done. Shouldn't cost more then 25 bucks :)

I just bought this car and was doing some fixing up and found that all four brakes have torn bladders. Is there a good way to fix them?

I'm not spending 200+ for that. I plan on making a set of those with a friend. It shouldn't be to hard to duplicate that with some flat stock and some welding :) I'll put 15 dollar bushings in place for now and worry about that in the future. As for the front it shouldn't be that hard I can see...

It's too damn cold here. I'll wait till spring.

Found a good video that Dupli-color posted. http://duplicolor.com/training/wheelcoating_training.html Doesn't go into the sanding of the road rash but I'm sure a good bit of grinding/sanding will smooth out the lip.

Does anyone have a good idea or method on how to refinish wheels. I have an MP3 and each wheel has some road rash and arn't in great condition. I would love to paint them or have them even powder coated (pipe dream due to $$$). I guess I'm wondering what I should do to prep them so the paint...

Lol I like this, "Tired of changing your Protg bushings? SAVE TIME & MONEY!" Ok it may save time. but even if every 6 months you had to change them.. at 15 bucks a time it would take a LONG time to equal $215.

OK thanks njaremka. Anyone have the bulb list?

What triggers them?
