OK, so you know how to do pads and rotors whech means you have had the calipers and brackets off... As long as the dust shields are not crispy, that and bleeding is all there is until they are crispy, or they are leaking.
You can pop off the dust seals to make sure the seals aren't leaking.
You did the lines without a set of brake line wrenches didn't you. A classic mistake many have made once. Now go to Harbor Freight and pick up a set of them for both english and metric so you never do it again. |
Wow Dean, you're reading comprehension is killing me! Read slower!
I never said I've done rotors and pads. I said I had the rotors done the last time I had the pads done. Then I said I did the lines myself.
The only time I had the calipers off, was when I pulled the rears off during my coilover install.
As far as a "brake line wrench", what's the difference? 3 of the 4 came off no sweat with the properly sized box wrench. But the RF was fused on way too tightly! It rounded when I was trying to break it open, so I had to resort to pliers to get grip on it.
