Is there a Step by Step Front rotor and brake install on this page. I just purchase the Race Concept ones and I would like to put them on myself. TIA Any help appreciated.

bump...

I don't know if there's a step by step around here.

But it's not very complicated. Maybe get a Chiltons or other manual to walk you thought it if you want.

You'll need a breaker bar, ratchet, a torque wrench, 14mm socket, and a C-clamp maybe a turkey baster to drain some brake fluid.

If you're going to change the rotors you'll want a pair of 8(?)mm bolts handy.

Use the breaker bar to remove the two guide pins that are furthest out. Those are the two bolts that hold the caliper in place. You’ll notice that one of the pins has a black tip on its end. It’s going to be a bitch taking this one off since it’s designed as a locking mechanism. Make sure you reinstall it in the same spot. Slide the caliper out and remove the pads. Use the c-clamp to push the piston back. You may need to remove some brake fluid from the reservoir. Keep an eye on it as you push the piston back you don’t want that stuff to spill in your engine bay.

To remove the rotors remove the two inner bolts that hold the caliper bracket in place. Remove the caliper bracket and now you have access to the rotor. Use a rubber mallet to get the rotor off. If that doesn’t seem to work use the pair of 8mm bolts I mentioned. There are two screw holes on the rotor you should be able to use. Slowly screw the two bolts into the holes and the rotor should pop off. Remove the rotor and install the new one.

Reinstall the caliper bracket and torque the screws down to 65 ft-lbs.

Put the new pads in place. Grease the caliper guide pins (the bolts you removed) and reinstall everything. Torque the screws down to 54 ft-lbs and you’re done.


Hope that helps.

It's not that hard, you just need some time and a 14mm socket wrench. The pads simply pop in and out of the caliper and the rotors don't take much work to get off if you have an extra screw threaded to fit the hole in them (near the lug holes). Just screw it in there and it pops the rotor out. If you need more info drop me an e/m line.
