Re: New Breaks...

well to compress the caliper piston you can just use a c clamp vise grip thats what i use to use.

not in the back

IF YOU USE A C CPAMP IN THE REAR YOU WILL BREAK IT. THE REAR PISTON MUST BE SCREEWED IN WITH THE TOOL

I know this

Re: New Breaks...

Thanks for all the advice on the rear calipers... i think that i am just going to get the 3 dollar tool so that i can twist the rear calipers in. i will use a tool i got to compress the fronts...

also i think that i want to paint the centers of the roters like this



What color should i paint them???

Red or Black???

or is it worth the time?

if you arent putting them on right away, paint them. my centers are gold from the factory. i might repaint them sometime though, i think it helps it stand out. and when you have rims, it draw attention to the whole area

Re: New Brakes...

either color will be nice

Re: New Brakes...

I didn't have any problems using a C clamp on the rear, and I have replaced my brakes twice. Granted I already had a C clamp and I tried it and it worked fine, I'll probably go buy the tool before I change them next time.

Re: New Brakes...

Jp i thought you said the gold started coming off? i guess u need to use like engine bay paint for the heat generated from the brakes.
