Replying to: jmonroe (Mar 02, 2008 7:03 pm) Yeah, I am now. Just woke up from a little extra "handsome sleep". Seems to be working fairly well.  Uhh, not sure what the "Mazda reference is all about. I do have a Mazda MPV, but my son is only 6 years old. Are you suggesting I let him do my brake work?

Replying to: jmonroe (Mar 02, 2008 7:03 pm) Have had Hondas and a Nissan with this screw-in type thing in rear. Have always got by with pliers. Trick is to advance maybe 2 segments, then retreat 1 segment. This will keep the rubber from getting fouled up. Has always worked for me. This works for first pad replacement. Next time pads need replacement, I replace calipers and rotor.

Replying to: xrunner2 (Mar 03, 2008 4:22 pm) But WHY? Calipers almost never cause trouble and if the rotors are within specs, why replace them? |
