Forgive me, guys, but before I replace my calipers (assume front and rear), I wanted to find tips/warnings/great digital camera how-to's. A search didn't really find me anything.
If I've missed a perfect thread, can someone please direct me? Honest - I am not a goober! I know how to search! But after about a gazillion misses (is caliper mentioned in EVERY brake post? Sheesh), I really need some hand holding. Some warm milk might be nice, too. Sniff.
While we're chatting, I am giving thought to bearings. How to tell when they're shot (assume never touched by hands of man/woman/god since manuf), do I really have `em (Seriously. Do I?), are they front AND back, rental tools to press out, that sorta thing. I guess - er - sorta like the above. Except - ahem - I wasted so much time searching for caliper replacement that I didn't have any left to search for bearings.
Okay. So - really. Have mercy. I've done the pads. I've done the rotors. But for some reason those calipers give me the shakes. And the bearings? Oh, my friend...the single malt scotch I have applied to my nerves on that thought would boggle the mind. Er. So to speak.
