Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Brakes Any tips for putting new rotors on?

I just put my gas slotted Brembo's on two weeks ago and took photos. I'll post those ASAP. I used a 7mm socket Allen wrench on the locating pins (2) for the front calipars. Chilton's was wrong. They advised the use of a T40 Torx which didn't fit. The rear locating pin needed a T55 Torx. I used a huge 6 inch C-Clamp to compress the front caliper to put the new pads on. Do it with the old pad on the inside before you remove it. The rear caliper needed a universal rotating caliper piston tool. Autozone had all the tools for under $20.

DON'T FORGET! ***

Make sure you put anti-seize compound on the hub/rotor assembly when you put it back together, then you shouldn't need that rubber mallet Paul was talking about the next time!

Don't you think that the auto manufacturers, knowing that there is anti-seizing compound available, would put *just a few drops* of the stuff on the hubs BEFORE they assembled our vehicles ??? DOH! Is it TOO easy, or what ?!?
