Rotor and Brake Pad Installation
Just letting you know that me and TwilightX are planning on installing some rotors and brake pads onto his car at my house this Friday at around 7:00PM. If you'de like to come over to see how to do it, then let us know. It should be an easy DIY, but it'll be even easier if you see someone do it first. Anyway, just extending an invitation.

Yeah, no problem. The horn we know what needs to be done. The intake should be pretty easy too since they say it comes with nice instructions...[hr]

Well no, Krepoort has to do the following:
Fixing the horn:
1. Take off the bumper.
2. Take off the horn.
3. Extend the ground wire.
4. Put horn back on.
5. Put bumper back on.
Installing the intake:
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Take out the airbox.
3. Unplug the sensor.
4. Unplug the PCV hose.
5. Take out the stock filter assembly.
6. Put on the intake.
7. Secure the couplings with clamps.
Something like that. You have to do the following:
Installing Brake Pads and Rotors:
1. Jack the front of the car up.
2. Support the car on jack stands.
3. Take off the front wheels.
4. Take out the rotor screws.
5. Ubbolt the caliper.
6. Suspend the caliper.
7. Remove the old brake pads and the old rotors.
8. Clean all of the surfaces.
9. Transfer the old brake pad shims and grease them up.
10. Install the new rotors and brake pads.
11. Torque everything down to spec.

Nice! The rumors are true! Havok in the hizzouse! I might have to bounce a little early since my friend is basically going to sit around - not too fun for the little lady. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] Oh well, man's gotta get new brakes, you know what I'm saying?
Hey M, how long do you think the install is going to run in terms of time?
