Wow, that'll do it! At least your pads are still in one piece though. :) When I did my father-in-law's brakes on his pickup, one pad came out in 3 pieces!

Remember to lube up those caliper bolts and bushings too so the new pads wear evenly.

Heh....Looks like the rear rotors on my Lumina after a few months of driving with new calipers. The sliders tend to freeze up often.....

Holy mother of oxidation!

Remember when we did mine? those pads were just about in 3 pieces lol

OH Ted i was wrong. The lip ended up on the pad side not the rotor. The inside of the rotor is wasted. Lube up those slides and make sure they move nicely. Want help let me now. I'll just need a ride.
