RE: Rear and Front Brake pad Install

LOL - I see I had already changed the pads out with EBC'S. I forgot that. Well I just did it again although only the front left caliper got changed. Dealer only had one set for the front. Pick up the other set tomorrow. Rears changed out too.
Thanks Rook!

Another fine tutorial Rook! Thanks for putting this together. I was able to do my fronts in under an hour.
A little "trick" I might suggest:
Once you have the calipers and pads removed, but before you start fighting to get the plungers to retract, remove the master cylinder cap to relieve the brake line pressure (protect your cockpit with a rag, of course), then just press the plungers gently so you don't squirt brake fluid out of the master. Put the cap back on before you begin to reinstall the calipers, so you don't risk moving the steering column during install and getting fluids places they don't belong. No fuss, no muss!
I add this because I watched a video where this fellow was fighting, and fighting, and fighting the plungers, and I thought to myself - you really *don't* know what the puck you're doing!
