What I need for brake pads change? I have 31K on my 99SE and bought some Axxis Metal Master brake pads awhile back.

Thanks

Go buy a Chilton's repair manual it tells you how to do most things.You need a wrench and needle nose pliers and some commen sense and you should be all set.

 

If you have a socket set and a brain you should be good to go. You only have to loosen two bolts(I think) on the caliper and the pads just come right off. I think it took me longer to take my wheel off than it did to change the pads.

 

2 bolts for the caliper 2 more bolts for the caliper bracket.
if it was that fast for you..did u even bleed the brakes? lube the sliding pins?
brakes are not something to do quick. but i guess to each his/her own.

All you need are the pads, some never-sieze or compatible lube for the pad slides and a socket wrench to remove the caliper. When compressing the caliper piston, open the bleeder so the fluid spits out and doesnt go back into the brake lines. Its really an easy job, and when you pull the wheel off, you will see what I mean.

 

I agree that a manual is helpful. I have compared the Chilton and Haynes manual and consider Haynes to be the better book, especially for this repair procedure.
