I'll email instructions from the C5 manual that were sent to me by forum member Patchers
I did my first rotor and pad change last week. Once you are done you will be an old pro.

I've got my first wheel off and am confused about where to put the sticky pad and the greese. I'd sure appreciate a quick copy of these instructions too.

Re: Changing Brake Pads... Confused member here... (Jharms)
depending on where you are located i can give ya a hand. Im in the northwest burbs of chicago.. IMO its easier to just remove both pins. Id think it'd be easier to compress the pistons in the calipers. ive had my pads/calipers off a few times now but never had to put new pads on just rotors (cross drilled)

Can I get a copy also? I just ordered new ceramic pads from Fred Beans. I've never done a brake pad change so the instructions will probably save me some time.
Thanks
