Brake job done!
She's back on her feet in the garage, got that tip-toe look at the rear wheels until I driver her to settle it down. Would to test drive her and bed the pads, but sleet and rain mix coming down outside :mad

Re: Brake job done! (Oldman)
No, I had the rotors checked on another machine at a brake shop by a guy a co-worker is friends with. They checked okay, slight bit of unevenness but not enough to cause problems. So I spoke too soon about the carquest rotor job.
Next projects: change out the brake fluid, replace O2 sensors.

Re: Brake job done! (Lone Ranger)
No, no, my mistake......your CALIPER bolts. I was just wondering with all the difficulty you had removing them, if you just left them finger tight :lol: ? The manual suggests 166lbs for the bolts (plus or minus 15lbs). You are correct on the setting for the lugs.
