its pretty straight forward jay i just taught a kid how to do his 04 rc

 

Man I remember redoing the entire brake system on my camaro.. what a PITA... Well, it wasn't that bad-- but the sliders were seized up due to crap in them, so I had to bring the brackets to work and heat them with the acetylene torch and work them out with a vice grips. It was tough.. would of just bought new brackets but they DO NOT MAKE them for the front of a camaro. Isn't that nuts? I searched -everywhere-, and they don't make em. Rear's, yes, front's-- no. I was sure to pack the new setup with a ton of syn grease, seal em up real well, and paint everything nice to keep from crap messing it up.

If you're putting in new rotors, I would paint the calipers to match your truck paint color. Makes truck look WAY sports and much tougher in my opinion!! Cheers

 

hey rydeslow i have a cpl stop signs before i can make it to the road what should i do about stopping? i mean thats before im gonna get a chance to "bed" my brakes....should i worry or just do soft stops pretty much crawl up to em and kinda blow em or what.....i also stopped and picked up some grease for the pads and other stuff got 2 packs of ultra disc brake lube synthetic lube and a pack of ceramic extereme brake parts lube extreme temp stuff...hope this stuff helps.....

 

You'll be allright, I always do a few stops before I get to an area I can break em in. Shouldn't do any harm. It's the people that never break the brakes in that mess them up.

 

Good luck,in the past I've found it hard to do brake break-ins without traffic getting in the way,do it late at night or on a country road if you can to avoid traffic.

 

Hahaha yeah, people think I'm nuts when I fly down the road, then slam on breaks many times. LOL. Surprised I haven't been reported for drunk driving
