Install breaks....

Can someone let me know where to find detailed information on changing front/rear breaks. Also thinking of changing the rotors at the same time.

Thanks,
TonyP.

I am glad to see that I wasn't the only one worried about the OP breaking his BRAKES.
Like the previous posters, I just couldn't resist putting in my two cents.

Funny at first glance I assumed some new install broke. Was curious what new performance piece. But see now that you wanted information on installing brakes. That is a very humourous pun

No ill intention..............

Give me a break. No ill intention or spelling cop here. I just posted because of the impression given by the title of the thread. Still think it was funny though.

I put these on all 4 calipers when I put on new rotors, pads, calipers, and SS lines. It made it soooo easy to bleed by myself. I would recommend these to anyone on any brake job.
