Changing brakes

[240sxHitman]

Ill keep it simple, is it difficult to install and is there anything special that i need to complete it?

[chmercer]

nope, easy as pie.

but you might want to put in some more details, are you changing pads, or upgrading calipers/rotors, or...?

[240sxHitman]

Im replacing the rotors and pads because they are worn out thats it. just wanted to do it instead of going to a shop spending extra money.

Just take the caliper off (leave brake hose connected) and make sure the caliper is supported and doesnt hang by the brake hose.

Rotors should come right off after caliper is off, and then pop out the pads.

Be sure to press the caliper piston back in before putting new pads on. then its all ready to go back on. I think the rear calipers need to be screwed back in...not sure because I had to install new rear calipers anyway. Maybe someone can give a more definate answer on the rear.

yeah, rear calipers need a special tool (availible at pepboys or autozone) to rotate the pistion. Turn it clockwise and it goes back into the caliper.
