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
