[almostSlydewayz]

are you changing out your calipers?
or are u just changing out your brake pads.

[dj_morpheus87]

the pistins twist in. besides that illlet you borrow my chiltons manual

[almostSlydewayz]

pads,rotors and calipers but I DON"T HAVE ANY TOOLS in the new house i think all i have is a screw driver and a flat head which isn't going to help me and i don't trust myself to do it with out some one who knows how it should be done i mean it is my breaks lol i don't want to get to bold with that :P

[cfinch]

then pay someone... try ice performance!

[almostSlydewayz]

i would pay someone to help me but you are missing the point how am i suppose to learn if i just take it to a shop everytime something goes wrong i know some one has to be willing to point and be like "yes thats right" or " no wait not that bolt" :D

yeah.. I love doing the work myself.. I had a lot of fun putting in my new control arms last night.. thank GOD for WD-40 and hammers!

about the caliper.. i have yet to deal with my 240s brakes.. im sure a chiltons manual with slove everything. (damn I need to get one..) and about the tools part.. why dont you just go and pick up a set? since you dont have any, might as well get them now? Sears has got a KICK ASS tool set.. called "The Mechanics Tool Set". or somthing like that, its Craftsman.. and its what I have and its got almost EVERYTHING I need.. Ive needed to go buy extra random tools here and there, extra wrenchs and shit like that.. but.. if you didnt live so fucking far, id give a hand..

i had to fuck with the piston on my rear calipers. i juss took a pair of grips, and twisted the piston back into the caliper like a screw. twist toward urself.

[almostSlydewayz]

[mr peas]

[almostSlydewayz]

ok so i just changed the calipers rotors and pads and bleed the brakes granted im a newb SO here is whats wrong the pedal has alot of play now and if i try to pull the ebrake up it works just takes like 10 feet to stop the car at like 20 mph and it comes to a slow stop haha any suggestions?

[dj_morpheus87]

[iceperformance]
