Brake Stuff
Re: Brake Stuff
Hey, file this under silly things I never knew before...
You can remove the brake pads without removing the calipers from the rotors.
I just noticed that this was very obvious on the Alcons, and sure enough I can do it on my Wilwoods too.
Doh!

Re: Brake Stuff
Changing pads on the Atom is a ton easier than my Mini. Besides needing to dismantle the calipers the pistons have to be rotated while being pushed in. Who the hell thought that was a good idea

Re Mini:
Obviously that's German Engineering at it's finest.
The British have a solution, but it won't be availble until Easter.

OH GOD YES, please dont put any on the rotor. Put a little on the edge of the pistons that contacts the back of the pad

You mean the MINI which was of course designed and built in Britain, it was one of the things BMW pillaged during their shamefull treatment of Rover.

Re: Brake Stuff
Nicholas - swap your pads left to right & vice-versa. If I were a squirrel, I'd bet my left nut it will cure the squeaking. Try it before applying any goop.
300hp Ecotec Atom that is driven. Visit my website.
