Hey,

I totally did not consider that my big brake kit won't fit my winter wheels ... my question is.

How hard is it to change the whole kit from rotors to calipers?

I am correct in assuming that I won't be able to save my brake fluid & will need to replenish each time?

Tkx!

It's not that hard at all. You just have to undo the brake line and then detach the caliper(two bolts). Then you can just reinstall your stock calipers and brake lines(or use the one w/ your kit(if it fits)). Yes you will have to bleed your two front brakes again. But it's a fairly simple process. Don't forget to replace the stock rotor also.

nice nice ... I guess I'll have to do this twice a year!

Tkx! It's reassuring!
