Yes, good advice... I do take a few pics usually, but in the case of rear brakes, I've had them apart almost as often as pulling the tranny, so I think I've memorized the procedure... although I do usually glance at the Bentley to be sure. This time, with all new parts, I'm planning to follow it to the letter.
