So i'm doing my front brakes on Saturday. All is going well. It is, after all, disc brakes. Not like the old days when all four corners were drums. This should be easy, right? Wrong!!
All went well. Or so I thought.
I did the front brakes without a hitch. Ex was off the jack stands and ready for the road test. I decided to clean up before the road test.
While I was cleaning up I found one of the new pads by the driver side wheel. My first thought was that the idiots at the factory put an extra pad in the box, right? There is no way that I reassembled the driver side without installing one of the pads. I mean come on, no way.
Well, I'm an idiot. Not only did I forget to install one of the pads, I didn't tighten the caliper bolts!!
Good thing I decided to clean up before the road test and not after.
I got the "extra" pad installed and all was well!
Just goes to show you that you should always check your work.
Hey, nowhere on my resume does it mention intelligence.
