HI Guys, I've done a rotar and brake change, it was so easy. So I am hoping every thing was done right. I undid the bolts that hold the caliper and undid the pins on the pads, slid the piston all the way back, and put the new pads in and put new pins in.

Then I undid the 4 screws and the big nut, slid off the rotar and slid teh new one back on and did it all up again. IS it really that eeasy or did I stuff something up??

As long as the rotor runs true that's it- I hope you did the big nut up to 150lb/ft or more.

It's a good idea to put a dial gauge on the side of the rotor and spin it- if more than a couple of thou runout, reposition the drive flange on the splines and try it again. :wink:
