The Mud Pit > Wrenching
brake job tomorrow or thurs night
rocket:
So, while putting my way home tonight from work in the MPG-mobile, i hear a metalic rattle. almost like loose change in vibrating in a cubby hole. So when i get home and investgate (while airing up). I find that one of the pins that holds my brake pads (passenger side) is haning part-way out (not enought to hit the rim, thank God!)! It looks like the clip is broke. I went ahead and ran my finger on the rotor. It is nice and wavy. The drivers isn't too bad, but I'm gonna go ahead and replace pads/rotors tomorrow (if i have time) or thurs. Did not plan on this :( Luckly, i can probably get my rotors cheaper than pads, so I'm looking at getting it all done for around $100 (thats w/ ceramic pads) ! Not bad comparred the the Passat I did (front pads were $90).
Anyway, if anyone is board tomorrow or thurs after 6pm, come on over!

I'll be doing ISR's all week (I'm sure you remeber how draining they are). When I did brakes on my POS Jetta it set me back about $50 for new rotors and pads. Hopefully your brake job will go better then mine, the bolts on the passenger side caliper were stripped out by the previose owner. Luckly they sell caliper bolts at autozone, so I replaced them.

SHould be easy....I have done tacoma front brakes before.
BUT,,,,,,,,,,,, I have reahearsals every night this week. Guess that doesn't help.

I just did my brakes last sat. I thought something was wrong with the fronts cause I had some grinding. Took front tires off and found my front brakes in perfect shape. Replaced the slightly worn rotors anyway. Took the rears off and holy shit. There was no brake pad left. I mean no brake pad. So replaced those and now everything is great. Jeep stops on a dime. Cost me about $90 for all. Had a few parts still under warrenty though.
