Q45t Brake Pad replacement
I need to replace the front brake pads and rotors on my '92 Q and need a little help as I have never replaced these since I bought it two years ago. If anyone has any links or advice on the subject I would really appreciate it.Thanks
Re: Q45t Brake Pad replacement (gamecockQ45)
its pretty straight forward. get the parts before beginning (rotors, pads, anti-squeak stuff, etc.) and remove wheel, unbolt caliper, set aside w/o straining the brake line, then remove the other two bolts which are wrapped around the rotor area. pull rotor out ... replace. put back together ... i think you need 14mm wrench/sockets for the rears and maybe like a 17-18 mm for the fronts? ... don't quote me on sizes but its really simple and for a mechanical rookie ... as long as you have all the stuff needed ... could take up to 2-3 hrs? ... goodluck with this tho. and welcome to NICO

With that many miles, I would be measuring hub runout so rotors don't become eccentric immediately.
Check for Q45tech's plsts on the subject.
