3800 Rear brake job pointers.......

[GTP4ME]

I am doing the rear brakes tomorrow and am looking for any tips you all might have. Is there any special tools that I may need? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jamie

have extra caliper brackets since they have tendency to seize up

no special tools, it's very easy with disks, just don't let the caliper drop when your taking it off. Other than that, undo the bolts, for the calipers, take off rotor, put on new rotor and pads, and your good to go. Make sure to pump the brake pedal BEFORE you turn on the car, and also a C-clamp will help you out. Good luck!

Thanks for the tip's....

I just got done tearing everything off and painting the caliper & caliper bracket. I will put everything back together in the morning and let you know how it went.

Thanks again.
