1. Well
the first thing you have to do is call your older sister and make sure that her
boyfriend is free for the weekend that you have planned to do the work an make
sure he is willing to do it. Sisters are
extremely nice like that.
2. The Second
thing you have to do is pick up the needed parts. Hopefully you got the right parts so her
boyfriend won’t look at you like your stupid.
3. The third thing you got to do is help him jack the rear end of the car
up. After jacking the car up you have to
take the rear tires off.
4. The fourth thing
to do is unbolting the caliper bracket and caliper from the rotor. After this
you remove the brake pads and you have to compress the caliper pistons. Thankfully my sister's boyfriend had the
funky red tool to do this. My dad and I
attempted to do it last summer without the tool and it didn’t go very well. There was plenty of swears and random things
thrown around.
5. You then put the new
brake pads in and put the caliper on the rotor and bolt all this to the
caliper mounting bracket. After that you
have to put the wheel back on, remembering to tighten every other bolt.
6. Then take the wheel off on the other side and
repeat the process all over again. Of
course while you’re doing all this you get to listen to said boyfriend
complaining about your junky mustang and how he can make a fox body out run the
V8 GT one you’re currently working on.
Now is also the time to think of anything else that needs to be done to
the car. After all this I have to
remember to suck up to my sister just in case I need anything else done.
