Brakes And Oil

Saturday, November 25th 2006

Well nothing really exciting, but I just did the front brakes, pads and rotors, and an oil change on my car. I always do my own oil changes, but this was the first time I've done brakes.

The brakes were actually extremely simple to do, assuming you have the right tools, which I did. You just remove the wheel, take the caliper off, and clip on the new pads. After cleaning and greasing the contact surfaces, of course. The rotors stumped me though. Luckily a quick call to my brother solved that. You just hammer them of and slide the new ones on. Bolt it all together, et voila, new brakes.

So for about $100 CAD I have brand new, Premium, brakes. Now for some new tires. ;)
