Wrenchfest - Brake Pad Replacement
Okay, it's that time again. I received my EBC Extra Duty Front & Rear Brake Pads, have the hardware kits, brake cleaner and grease (missing anything?). Now it's time to see if we can bring it all together in a wrenchfest. Being retired, during the week is always good, but I'm open to whatever you guys have available.
Decided on these pads:

Re: Wrenchfest - Brake Pad Replacement
Kurt, that is one haul I do not mind making. To have an opportunity to learn from a master and know the job is going to be done correctlly - priceless. I'd be happy to come up. Thank you.Kurt wrote:Ralph, I know it's a haul but my garage is always available.

As far as dates, I'm booked through the 5th but have the 6th or 8th available, or any time the following week. And, Mark, you're more than welcome to join us if Kurt doesn't mind.

All set for the 'fest tomorrow. Garage emptied and the A/C is on so it's comfy.
Suppose to be in the 90's tomorrow.

Re: Wrenchfest - Brake Pad Replacement
My back's been out all day today. It usually doesn't last this long any more so I'm hopeful I'll be good for tomorrow. If so, I'll see you both at 10am.Kurt wrote:All set for the 'fest tomorrow. Garage emptied and the A/C is on so it's comfy.
