break job help

[reinke]

is there anything special i need to know about replacing the brakes on my 01 gt. do the caliper pistons slide or twist back it?

Slide. A smaller c-clamp usually does the trick. I use the old pads as a flat surface to push against.

sweet thanks. i gotta get thr front and back done on my lunch break tomorrow. hopefully i can do them in a hour

Just pads will take me 30 minutes for the whole car, including taking the wheels off, putting them on, and torquing bolts to proper specs.

This is with a chassis lift so all four wheels are just off the ground at the same time.

pads and rotors. i know i wont be able to get them all done. i will probably wait until i gethome

Rotors? Not happening. The extra time to take the caliper bracket off will definitely put you over your mark.
