Brake replacement

[Cheekz185]

Any1 got a tutorial on how to replace 8g's front brakes? Also how to remove the calipers...i wanna paint them

[devgrp]

I just changed my brake pads friday. Not hard at all, After removing the wheel, just remove guide pin from the bottom of the caliper, then swing the caliper up. Afer that just pull the pads away from the rotors and put the news ones. You will have to get a wire to tie up the caliper and keep it from falling.

If you want to take the whole caliper off, you might haveto bleed the brakes.

to remove the calipre all you have to do is remove the top pin holding hte caliper on and paint. if you remove the brake line, thats when you have to bleed the brakes. but yea, i'd just paint it on the car.

if you paint the calipers while there stil on the car would'nt it look a bit slopy just in case u get unwanted paint on other parts

<span style='color:blue'>Be careful when you do this, and keep track of your parts. I think when I had attempted to paint mine, I lost a few pins, or bolts. two days after I painted them, my brakes fucked up, and ended up rubbing against the inside of my rim. Then, like a month after that. My fucking passenger brake pads came off the rotor in harlem. (I'm from queens) Lucky for me, I used to watch MacGyver. I used Chewed winterfresh to hold the brake pads on till I could get to pep boys the next day, where they told me I was missing a bolt. I know, I know... ":dumbass:" But that's what I get for not keeping track of my shit. I still have to repaint them soon... "WHAT NEXT!!!"</span>

That's why I used G2 caliper paint. It's brush on paint and it's very easy to use. No runs and no paint in places I didn't want it to go.

[Cheekz185]

Where can I get that G2 paint? Do they have <span style='color:Blue'>Blue</span>?

they sell G2 at some local auto parts store. you might want to look for it there. if you go to froogle.com you can find hundreds of dealers that sell it also. ebay is another place. just be careful since G2 does have an expiration date.

and yea they have it in blue
