Re: 2004 GTP Brakes

OK, now to put the front brakes back on. First I took the rotors to a shop to have them turned. It was $14 a piece that was fairly cheap. I think usually depending on where you live it may cost anywhere from $14-$20.

Anyways, everything goes on pretty much how it came off. First thing I did was put the rotor back on and twisted the little gold washers back on to hold the rotor in place,(you may or may not have the little gold washers, if you don't just screw on a couple of lugnuts to hold the rotor still).

Then I lubed up the metal shims with the stuff you can get at the checkout counter and i put them in the caliper bracket and mounted the bracket. then I lubed up the back of the brake pads slid them in. I put some high temp bearing grease in the boots where the caliper bolts go. I then mounted the caliper (after squeezing it back in with the c-clamp placed over an old brake pad) to the bracket, making sure that I didnt damage the rubber boots. Then I tightened the bolts down. Put on your tire and tighten the lugnuts up but not overly tight. If you have a torque wrench I believe its a 100 pounds. And there you have it. Hope someone finds this usefull
