95BlackTA

I know they're pretty simple to do, but ive never done them and dont wanna mess anything up.

Its for a 95 TA 4 wheel discs(ofcourse :P)

Thanks for any help

I already got my 6" C-clamp, some brake cleaner, lube for the contact points, and some extra brake fluid.

Take the wheel off. There are 2 bolts holding the calipers onto the spindle/rotor. Unbolt them and slide the calipers off the rotor. Set it down on something since the brake line is not long enough to reach the ground. Now slide the rotor off (if you're replacing it). Slide new rotor on.

Take the old brake pads off. Push the piston back in that's on the caliper. It's kind of hard and you will definitely need a clamp. Put the new pads on, slide the caliper and pads onto the new rotor. Bolt the 2 bolts back onto the caliper and spindle.

It is really straight forward once you start taking it apart.

EDIT: nevermind, got it off...



The new brake pads are obviously a lot thicker, and they wont fit over the caliper now...how do I release pressure so they pads will fit over the caliper?

Use a C-clamp to force the piston back in.

I used a block of wood with a big C-clamp. I had to push the piston very far back. I still had to pound on the caliper to get it to slide on the rotor.

Cool i got the one brake done...have to save the rest for tomorrow...thanks for all the help.

I hear the rear ones can be a bitch though...Ill prolly be posting up if I get stuck on those

Try an old pad instead of wood next time.

I did that too. What does it matter though??? It got the job done.

Lets just say I've never had to pound a caliper to get it back on, plus the old pads will be right there not doing anything anyway. They might as well serve one last function. You don't have to get up and look for a block either.
