Re: Replacing Brakes
Just one note, in the pictures you will notice how "clean" the used parts are. This is because the tech used Brakleen and over rags to get as much of the road grime off to avoid contaminating the new parts. When replacing the pads, make sure exterior of the the calipers and exposed pistons (use a clean shoe lace) of any road grime before you start pushing them into the bores when making room for the new pads. Also use the 400 Grit sandpaper to lightly burnish the new pad surfaces and rotors, flush and wipe down all used part contact surfaces prior to assembly.
