I Did It!
Well as some of you may know i had a drivers side front piston lock up on me. Since i have never worked on brakes myself i decided to take it to some shops, only problem is they all wanted $1200 dollars and up to do it. So at that point i was like no no no.... and with suport from CF members i devided to do it my self. So i orded the new caliper rotor and pads and few misc things after getting the parts it took me 1 1/2 hours to get it done saved my self 1k. So has you can see im very happy and must say it was much easier then i thought it was gonna be. Plus i feel better that i did it myself and just another thing i know how to do on my vert. Thanks again for everyones help!

GOOD FOR YOU! I love stuff like that, you get the satisfaction of doin it yourself, your wallet stays happy, and it probably took you a fraction of the time to get it done.
