Aw man...I hope he is alright. I think he was right when he said 'Lindsey was out to get him'.

 

[genericuser]

at least the nb's have a bit more heft to them.

if I hit a deer in my NA, both the deer and I would be sent to the meat packing plant.

 

[THE Phen]

Yeah... I actually did it a month ago, but I've been out of town for almost all of the month, so I never got a chance to get the damn thing fixed. Plus I was too embarrassed to say anything about it.

Chris:

I'm rather mechanically inclined and I have the proper tools to do a brake swap. (I picked up a C-Clamp via the job, so we are good.) Just let me know if you want to do it with Bruce or me or both. I'm more than willing to lend a hand if needed.

No internet access out there in the Western hills of PA, eh? haha

Sux that it happened but I was happy to hear it was the old one and not a new one.

 

[THE Phen]

No... I was just too embarrassed to post it.

I'd love to have your help too, but my rear brakes are starting to squeal and I've got stuff going on the following weekend. I've done brakes before, just not on this car. The P5 was pretty straight forward once you learned about the secret screw to release the rear pistons. I imagine that unless we have trouble getting those rotor screws out this should be a pretty straight forward job.

Bruce, I checked with the wife and I'm game for Saturday. What time should I stop by?

In this thread, the writer mentions turning the caliper piston to depress it. I think that is only for the rears while the front can be done with a c-clamp. Do you have a c-clamp bruce?

Apparently the worst part is that the rotors are fastened to the hubs with some rusty screws that may have to be drilled out. At the very least, an impact wrench with a phillips attachment will be needed.

The instructions talk about removing the calipers. I don't think we have to do that completely if we aren't replacing brake lines. In fact, I thought I heard someone say we only have to remove one bolt for the fronts and the rotor can be removed...we'll see about that though.

Front brakes are no problem. I have the tool to compress the piston. I have an impact screwdriver I've been dying to try.

9? I'll pm my address and cell. I'll check at the local parts store for the tool. Probably will need it for Mia anyway.

Chris, pickup a couple of spray cans of brake cleaner. Will need them to clean the new rotors.
