SE Brakes

SE has rear disc brakes. Brakes are nothing to leave to chance. Get a repair manual and read up before you try, or make sure that you have someone who knows whats up help you the first time. It really is very easy but brakes are not trial and error jobs.

Chances are pretty good that you will need to get new rotors. They do noy have alot of thickness to spare and if you are metal to metal they might be gonners, but have em checked out just in case.
