Power Slot rotor install

[Skengdon7]

I'm doing the install myself and had a couple questions.

1. Will the stock calipers fit the power slot rotors?

2. The bolts that the lug nuts are screwed on to, will I need to replace them?

3. Has anyone done this install by themself? If so, any pointers...

Like I said once in a previous post, brakes are for real one of the easiest things to DIY. Assuming you got the stock replacement size rotors from powerslot then the stock calipers will fit. No you dont need to replace the wheel studs (unless one brakes when you take the lugs off, in which case, yes it will need to be replaced and I will tell you how to do that if needed). The most important thing to do is make sure you take out enough time in your day to do the job right and not be rushed (a good 4 hours if you've never done it before). Do 1 wheel at a time, and get it all off, and the new one on and done before you move to another wheel (that way you dont forget to do antyhing). Having pneumatic tools make this job 100% easier, but hand tools can get it done if youve got a little muscle. Make sure that when you take the caliper off you dont just let it hang from the brake hose (use a zip tie, bungee cord, or something to hang it from your strut or something, or else you are askin for trouble). After the caliper is off and the pad assembly is off, depending on how old your rotors are on the car it might be real real hard to get them off. There are no other bolts or anything holding it on, just rust. Since you are replacing the rotors dont worry about smashing the old ones up with a hammer because trust me, you will beat the shit out of them trying to get them off. Just keep hitting them from the back side until they pop off. Put the new rotor on and then get your new pads set in the pad assembly. Bolt that up and then get ready to put your caliper on. Now, in order to put the caliper onto the rotor you will need to drain ALL the fluid out of the caliper piston (in order to do this you will need some sort of C clamp, or something big enough to compress the piston. Open the bleeder valve and press on the piston with the vise or clamp until it is open all the way. Close the bleeder and you should be able to get it onto the pad assembly.). Bolt it back up the way you took it off and disco, you are almost done with 1 wheel. After you have done all 4 wheels you now have to bleed them. This is a 2 man job. If you dont know how to bleed the correct way post again and I can put that up here. It's real easy and will take like 5 min a wheel. Good luck and post anything else if you need help.

if your very carful about it you wont have to blled the brakes at all. Jus get the pads in, then slip um over the rotor. :will not work if you push the brake with the rotor out.

I think it all depends on the last time you hit the brakes.....I have never been able to get the calipers over the pads unless i drain them first. And yeah, dont EVER try to hit the brakes without the calipers over the rotors because you will push the pistons right out of the caliper (not good at all). Plus, I always bleed the brakes whenever I change the pads because it doesnt take long, and I know I brake real hard, so I want clean fluid in the lines.
