Re: How To change brake rotors and pads?????? HELP HELP
Yeah, calipers may be marginally different, as the vr4 calipers are the most complex caliper I've ever worked on...but the whole process is the same.

Re: How To change brake rotors and pads?????? HELP HELP
Are you sure you are turning it the right direction, remember you aren't facing it...so you should be turning the opposite direction than normal.

Quote:
get some sort of rust penetrator solution. a must have when doing engine work, exhaust work, brake work, adn chassis/suspension work, as these are the parts of the car that are most exposed to the elements, and therefore most susceptible to rust, grit, dirt, grime, and just crap. so get some sort of rust penetrant, some WD-40, and brake cleaner.

Re: How To change brake rotors and pads?????? HELP HELP
I put a wrench on mine and beat the crap out of them with a hammer. They came right off. And the VR4 calipers are the same for all years, but the rotors on the 2nd gen are bigger, along with different mount bracket to accomdate the larger rotors
