Well, at least on the front.
Been about 70K miles with the old EBC Green pads (long commutes really help this out) and they were due. Actually, a bit overdue
[I would have inserted a picture here, but I’m embarrassed at how much I let them wear]
Installation was a snap with a quick refresher from this post at NAM by Richard.
If you are getting ready to do this yourself, this tutorial is a huge lifesaver! Be sure to check out the how-to for the rear brakes as well.
Dude, I was there when you put those brakes on. Good times man, good times. *Tear*
ooooh yea….you were photog for that job if I remember correctly. Do you still have the ‘floating MINI’ pic floating around?
Afraid not… It was probably lost in the great hard drive fire of ought-five. There’s a chance it might still be on your computer, but I doubt it.
Thanks for logging those how-tos, I always have trouble finding them when I needed them..
I was scared when I decided to do my brakes but determined. The first wheel took me almost 2 hours, the 4th one 15 minutes. :) Great sense of accomplishment when I was done and glad I will never have to pay hundreds of dollars to get my brakes done like most people do.
Thanks! some of these are so hard to find that I figure at least I’ll need them sometime again in the future.
I felt the same way the first time. I actually had an easy go with the fronts, but the rears gave me some grief. I found a third hand and it went much smoother.
