Front Brake Job Completed
Finally got a few spare hours yesterday to replace the front pads in the B... Passenger's side had been grinding a bit when I was test-driving it. Job wasn't too hard, once you get into it. I figure it took me about an hour and a half in total, spread out over 4 hours (of course), as I had to make a Home Depot run in the middle to buy a clamp to compress the pistons. Some pictures follow -
The passenger's side was the one that was grinding a bit, the pads show that there was basically no friction material left on them....


Old vs New...

Pads out, now need to compress the pistons...

New pads installed....

One side completed....

Driver's side weren't too bad....

A little overzealous compressing the pistons....
