My wife has just hit 70k on her car and I decided it was time to do a brake job on it. Super easy to do. I removed the caliper brackets and had the front rotors turned since they were still in spec. The rear pads were even easier. The only brake pads I could find in stock locally was some from Advance Auto parts. I got some of the ceramic ones they sell. I use CRC anti-squeal on the pads also.
In this pic you see I tied the caliper up with some string to the shock so it is not hanging by the brake hose. I also used wheel bearing grease between the rotor and the spindle. I use to use anti seize but that crap didn't work on my other cars. It tends to get hard and the rotors are still super hard to remove from the spindle.
New pad comparison.
For removing the rotor screws
I used a piece of wood across both brake pistons so I could compress them at the same time.
Remove master cylinder cap before compression the caliper pistons.
CRC anti squeal on the back of the pads between the shims
Looks like the pads have been changed before with some EBC green stuff maybe? Or maybe the stock pads are green? I am not sure. It looks like they used anti seize between the shims on the pads.
The rear was so easy that I did not take pics. Car stops great and not much brake dust.
I hope this helps someone out in the future.
