Remember to get some brake cleaner and remove the oil off the new discs before fitting them.
And don't forget some copper grease where the pad sits in the caliper, or it'll squeal like a bitch :) Needs to be used on the caliper slide bolts too, to ensure freedom of movement. Hellraiser...........>
No, I see TVs fixed by plumbers all the time.
Nothing.
The message from "ThePunisher" contains these words:
Yeah, well, percussive maintenance works fairly often.
If it's got external slides, if they're sealed pin slides then you want brake grease, copper grease dries out & jams them up.
Is that copyright or can I use it too?
I only ever clean them and haven't had any problems. Grease can just help dust stick to them. They're stainless steel so don't rust. They come 'dry' on a new car.
I wrote a HowTo for changing brake disks/pads on a Hyundai Coupe - for all intents and purposes the procedure will be similar however if nothing else it may give you an idea of what's involved.

It does, actually. It's one way of identifying poor solder joints.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "ThePunisher" saying something like:
What's life without a little risk?
Death.
