I trying to think what can be screwed up doing rotors
maybe cross threading putting the calipers back on. so just take your time.
Its 2 bolts to remove the caliper, 2 to remove the caliper brakes, remove rotor. reinstall

difficulty scale of 1-10. 1 being changing oil, 10 being changing clutch.
I'll rate it like a 2.5, maybe a 3 for it being the 1st time.

I say have at it. tools I recommend, breaker bar and something to re-compress the pistons
..........rubber mallet to hammer rotor loose, and I have air tools and compressor I could bring! Just no experience .........Tom

I just had a Mod Party a couple of weeks ago...

I would be glad to help but I will be in Ocala this weekend and out of town for the next two.

If you can wait I can help you after the 19th.

Let me know.

Ivo

Default Steps to Follow

Here's a link that explains what you need to do, step by step.

I did my first brake job at 15 ( 31 years ago ). It's really not that difficult. Good luck with it!

Mini mod party dos? I've bought my new spark plug wires....you know, to replace the one that someone ripped off! I bought Magnecor racing wires. I might as well change the plugs too. I'm gonna order those from Ernie at Breathless.

Window licker.

BTW, I bought your replacement serpentine belt. I'm also saving the 11 ball for you. Always have the 1 or 9 ball. They are both yellow.

Hey Ivo, that would be great if you could help out. I would have come to your mod party, but I was out of town. Anyway, after the 19th is fine with me. Send me an email with your contact info and we can set something up. Again, thanks.
