Thanks everyone, I got the brakes in yesterday afternoon. Pretty cheap, the rotors were 50 bucks from Volkscafe in Santa Fe, pads about 25. Shipping was only 10 and they got here the next day. I used a C clamp for the pistons, I just couldnt figure out how that would work for a while becuase I mistakenly though once I took the clamp of, the pistons would come back out. Anyway, how dangerous is it if I cant the bolts torqued to spec? First of all, Bently calls for 200ft and my wrench only goes to 150. But I couldnt even budge the bolts after about 140, and Im pretty strong. Thanks, Jeff __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo!
