DIY Complete Brake Job

Mnfamilyguy2020 · 09-15-2020, 09:49 PM

Completed my first brake job on the grand coupe today, everything went fine except for one small issue..... Beware of the 6 mm set screw on the front rotors. For some reason the fronts were stuck while the backs were fine. One stripped out completely, it turned a two hour project into a 7 hour swear fest.. I highly suggest PB blaster and then to let it sit for 3 to 4 hours before you try to remove these if you’re doing the brakes yourself. Ultimately I removed it with some easy outs.

It was still a very simple DIY though.

+1. I did mine too and it was not the worst brake job I've ever done.
