Zack is attempting to change the breaks on his car by himself. This can't be good. LOL. Every one hold their breaths and pray he doesn't break some thing.

Brakes are easy as hell! It's like installing a CAI. You loosen a few bolts slide a few things back and tighten bolts.

Oh, did I mention that you will need to possibly bleed the brakes, and remove and replace the worn parts ie: pads and rotors....

AHAHAHHA

Unless you're talking about my CAI... I did my brakes in far less time than I spent on my pipe. I even did a runout check on the rotors... don't want to ruin $250 worth of new brake hardware.
Oh, and a C-clamp! Absolutely!

Now on a serious note:

Brakes really aren't as hard as most think. They are actually quite easy.

The C-clamp is used to compress the FRONT (only) rotors back so that the new pads fit over the rotor. The process is to use an old pad and the C-clamp together to push the caliber piston back to it's "beginning" or flush position.

The rear requires a special tool to spin the piston back into it's "beginning" or flush position. You can get away with using a pair of large pliers or lock jaw pliers to grab and spin the piston as well. You just need to be very very careful not to damage the rubber boots.

I have changed brakes on 2 Lightnings and 3 Mustangs. It takes time but you can accomplish this task with no problem.

WE HAVE FAITH!
