Brake pad install
Well alot of people have asked me how to install brake pads by themselves, and its really not that Hard, So today im going to tell you how
Your Gonna need
a 13 and 11 mm Wrench
Huge Pair of Channel Locks ( or brake piston Compressor tool)
Flat Head Screw Driver ( Or Brake caliper pry tool)
Ok Heres what you do ( This information may vary, but there basically all done the same way)
1. Take off the 2 Bolts holding on the caliber, The bolts are on the Inside ( Closest to the wheel well)
2. Use the screw driver or the pry bar to get the caliper off,
3. Check and make sure the sliders slide freely ( there the boot looking things where the bolts came off of)
4. Take Off the outside pad first
5. Use the Channel locks and clamp one side to the inside pad, and the other side to the back of the caliper, and slowly squeeze so the pistons get pushed back so its flush with the caliper
6. Take off the other pad now, then Put the new pads in
7. Re-install the caliper Make sure u didnt twist the brake like the wrong way
Repeat this process on The rest of the Brakes
!!!!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!!!
AFTER YOUR DONE PUTTING THE NEW PADS IN, MAKE SURE YOU PUMP BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL STIFF
IF YOU DONT DO THIS, WHEN YOU GO TO DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP
