Screw it. I've searched for an hour, and can only find bits and pieces of what I want to know.
Is there any place out there that has a step by step procedure (WITH PICTURES) for doing the front and rear brakes? The service manual is broken up into a half-dozen different procedures, and some of it's just plain vague. The last set of brakes I replaced was on my first car, a 1970 Maverick, and my dad did most of the work.
Just an FYI, I intend to bleed the fluid at the same time.
Besides that, I have a few specific questions:
1. What the heck is this tool for the rear brakes I keep hearing about used for? I've seen dozens of pictures of the tool, but I've never seen a picture of what you use it on. Also, I heard one side needs to be ground off for clearance. Which side? There's a Harbor Freight outlet store close to me. I assume they'll have it there.
2. Besides rotors and pads, what else do I need? Should I buy caliper rebuild kits just to be safe?
3. What else in the way of tools do I need?
4. Anybody in the Chicago area want to give me a hand? It looks pretty straightforward, but some of you know me... Enough said. ::nono::
Thanks.
