CFJBO Brake Help
Monday, October 08, 2007 12:26 PM
The Michigan winters have rusted my rotors terribly. I would really appreciate some help by the CFJ guys finding the parts and doing the install. I've never touched my brakes, except for helping my dad replace the pads once. I need OEM replacements at least, but I'm open to upgrading (as long as it fits my budget). If anyone is available to help me out, let me know...

this saturday should be fine and it should not take super long as long as we get all of the parts ahead of time


i can def tell you it should be less than 100 for the front but do you need to rear ?

my rear brakes are fine, its my front rotors that are screwed. I'd only need two rotors and two sets of pads, right? should i get any particular brand or anything?

eric helped me do it for the first time like 2 months ago, its cake...

check out the ad for ptuning.com running on the jbo.. click it and you get 5% off your order and free shipping..

i got powerslott rotors and hawk pads from them, cheapest i could find.


and if you need help, i can bring my haynes manual and tool set and if you get the 12 pack of beer we could probably be done in an hour

also helps to have a jack (not the @!#$ty one in your spare tire well)

jack + jackstand + tire iron + 3/8" allen wrench + 3 or 4" C-clamp + hammer + flathead screwdriver + gloves + rotors + pads + time = brake change. antisqueal and caliper pin lube are a plus.

That's because I wasn't answering your question.

Eric asked why all the ish Berto listed was needed.
Eric helped with your brakes. Now you have problems with squeaking.


If I had to guess, I'd say either lube the caliper pins and/or anti squeal on the back contact points for the back of the pads (not where it contacts the rotors).
