is it relativly simple to change the pads yourself? ive done my own brakes in the past, just wondering if the brembos are a little more difficult since im a driveway mechanic. i paid an arm and a leg at mitsu service and im not planning on givin them any more money.

 

Very simple. Just make sure you grease all metal parts well. there is a DIY in the installation section.

 

pc of cake (done it 2 times) and took me less than 1.5 hr to finish the sec time.

 

1.5 hours! Dang you're slow. I can do it without power tools in about 40 minutes. I've also swapped pads out about a dozen times though.

 

lol. let's have a race.


I have done it 2 times on EVOs and 6 to 10 times on other cars. I cant see myself doing it faster than 1.5 because i dont have a car lift so i have to jack the car each wheel (pain in the ***) I took my time gressing everything right and I have 0 squeek with my freddo 2500

 

what is the correct way to grease everything?

 

Here's a trick for jacking the car. If you lift it at the front jack spot you can lift both the front and rear at the same time.

When I'm swapping pads I'm also not using the shims on my race pads. So that's some time saved there. No point in trying to reduce squeeling out there.

 

Make sure you have some of this stuff:



Otherwise you'll have some noisy brakes

 

No problem. Took me around 1.5-2 hours.

 

It's actually much easier to change the pads on our Brembos than the sliding calipers on most cars. As long as you have the right tools (hammer, punch, and pry-bar or spreader) it should take no more than 5-10 minutes per corner.

just tap out the pins, pull out the old pads, push back the pistons, drop in the new pads, tap the pins back in and you're done.

Very easy to do. Good write up in how to section.
