If you run into trouble a 5/16" drill bit and a bunch of these will be needed .

OK so I just got my stage 2 BBK from Pettit via UPS, and would like to know;
what do I need to do to replace my stock brake lines with the stainless steel braided brake lines and racing brake fluid I got with the kit?

auzoom

Remove existing lines, fit new lines, bleed brakes. When you remove the old lines you will obviously lose fluid but you wont loose all of it. So when you add your new fluid you should try and flush a reasonable amount out.

Thanks! man this is going to look so cool

auzoom

No probs. Just looking up the BBK that pettit offer. What sort of offset do you ened for those?

DOMINION

Hey how do you get that hub off the back? or do I need to remove that hub befor I can take off the rear rotors?
Thanks,

you need to take off the caliper.

That IS the rotor.

Get the caliper off, remove the pads, then use this tool to "screw" the piston back into the caliper.

staticlag

yeah, that middle thing is the rotor.

DOMINION

What?! no way





Let me know if the pix are large enough for you guys. It seems like the rear rotors are behind that hub and you guys are telling me I'm wrong? and that I just need to bang the rotors off cuz like you know theyre stuck on there lol look at that rust!
I just want to get the **** straight befor I take all this off and dont have a ride to the auto store ya know
Thanks,
Gil

Take the caliper off, the rotor should pull off.

That threaded hole is a puller hole, in case it's rusted on.

DOMINION

OK got it. Back to work I go know. Man I need a beer!

DOMINION

Anyone know what direction the slots on the rotors go?

StealthTL

iTrader: (1)

The one on the right is the passenger side - the outer tips of the slots face forward.

S

DOMINION

OK is that the same for the back?

+1

DOMINION

Thanks I'll post pix in a bit

DOMINION

Well I have faild. I cant get the bolts off that hold the caliper on and I'm afraid that I'll strip it. Guess I'll have my dealer do it. Sux but I just dont have power tools to do the job.

expo1

Do you have a Breaker Bar? Or even a section of pipe over a rachet handle. So long as you have the correct socket ( I think the rear's are 14 or 17mm ) you should not strip the bolt heads.

StealthTL

iTrader: (1)

Make sure you use a six-point socket - a twelve will rip off all the corners.

....and like Expo says - get a piece of pipe on that wrench, ya girly-boy !

S

DOMINION

Guys I tryed. I have a 3 pice pipe you can build from 6in up to 18in so you can pry stuff off and that did not work. So i tryed a hammer rubber mallet and that did not work? I have 50k miles. I think I need a power tool. It might be rusted on.

expo1

lefty loosy righty tighty.

Sure your ratchet is set to remove the bolt?

Cody Red

how 'bout a diy on brake fluid?

DOMINION

Yup I checked that.

That would be cool to. I was just going to pump out as much as I can or look for a bleader where you add brake fluid next to the master c.
