R34 Gtt Front Rotor And Pad Replacement

[vidospace]

Tools needed:

- Rubber Mallet

- Pliers

- Sockets (22mm and 12mm)

- breaker bar may be required

- Hand cleaner (trust me here!)

- Brake Cleaner

- Flat head screw driver

Firstly jack the car up and remove the rims

Remove break pad wire at back of caliper. Surprisingly this can be tough. Might need a bit of plier action!

Tap out pad pins from behind the caliper with mallet.

This will then allow the Pads to be removed via the top of the caliper.

With the pads removed, now unscrew the 2 bolts holding the brake line bracket in place.

Then (here you might need a breaker bar) undo the two 22mm bolts that hold the caliper on.

The caliper should now be loose and you can remove it. I found a bucket around the same height that I could rest it on. This saves having to remove the brake lines.

With the caliper off, the rotor should come loose on its own. Might need a hammer with the mallet or just screw in a bolt as shown below:

This is the comparison between the old and new rotor. Nice!

While the rotor is off, this is a good opportunity to use rust converter on the hub section. This should help the rotor come off cleaner next time too for machining or replacement.

Put the new rotor on and screw in 2 of the wheel nuts to hold it in place.

Reverse the above process to get the caliper back on.

Any questions feel free to PM me.
