[QUOTE="OldSVTGuy, post: 9467967, member: 40332"] One thing not covered in that excellent rear brake write-up is that there are two small pins on the rear of the pads that have to be lined up with those little slots on the piston that you use to turn the piston. Basically, I think the piston slots have to be at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock to fit the pads correctly. I found out the hard way....fried the pads and cracked the rotor. And, you may want to take the slider pins out of those rubber boots, clean them and re-grease them using a good quality bearing grease. Also, I use a 220 grit emery paper to rough up the rotors before installing the new pads, unless you happen to take the rotors in for truing up at your local machine shop. And, whatever you do, DO NOT undo those springs from the caliper. Good luck......Once you do it, you'll see how really easy it is. [/QUOTE]
