    Changing Brakes

    Just wanted to know if there are any useful tips or things I should watch out for when I change my pads and rotors (rear.) I just accepted a package from RPI today containing my Brembo rotors and mintex pads. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    You'll need a tool to rotate the caliper piston inward. It costs about $12 at auto parts stores. Can't use C- clamps like the old days, these twist in on their own threads. Tool adapts to any rachet that utilizes 3/8" sockets. Just call a local parts store and tell them what you are doing... they will know right away what you'll need. Otherwise the job is straight forward.

    It's fairly easy as Has said. I did mine last month and it was a no hassle job at all.
