#11741, "Attempt at the GSX brake install"


          

So I got the calipers, the J-speed rotors and the Napa Ceramix pads and a bottle of synthetic brake fluid. So then I go to the GSX calipers and try to remove the caliper guide bolts from the bracket..no budge even with the impact gun!!..I go to the breaker bar and snap!..I twist the bolt off!..But check this out-not on the threads but on the smooth part. I did that to one of the two bolts on each caliper. Then damn thing was probably rusted shut in the bracket. I strip the other bolts..damit! So I go to the drill press and TRY to drill the SOB out- no success. I'm gonna go tommorrow to a machine shop and see if they can help me out. But I was so frustrated and disapointed today cuz I spent 6 hrs working for nothing - yall know how it is when you think it'll be just a wham. bam, thank-you mam and you get all these problems that lead to other problems. They looked so nice to - the rotors barely clear the dust shield and BTW the lines of the 95-99 GSX are the same as ours. Anyways - Hades, do you still got them brackets if things don't work out?
