    newbie changing stockrotors for adamspp's

    Kinda a brake newbie but very mechanically inclined. Anyone know of any gotcha's when changing rotors for a B7 S4?

    I got DYI from http://johnvey.com/features/a4brakes/ Like most things the devil are in the details. I saw on Youtube some guys use silicon grease but this DYI mentions nothing about grease.

    1) Watch that spring clip. That thing will take an eye out.
    2) The caliper carrier bolts are on tighter than a mofo.
    3) If the rotor is rusted to the hub, PB Blaster is your friend.

    Other than that, it's pretty straight forward. Also, there's a pretty good DIY on AW for pad replacement on a B7S4 but it doesn't go as far as replacing the rotor.
