I know that most people should be able to remove the rotor without backing off the emergency brake assembly, but some will have to loosen it to remove the rotor...

Thank you for all the rep points! I am glad that this DIY helped so many people. Thanks to Josh at Stillen for posting the DIY on the Stillen blog too!

FWIW, don't be an idiot like I was when I tried this. I was working on the front wheel and, in haste to get things done, loosed the four bolts that hold the caliper together. I had three of them out and as I was loosening the fourth, I saw a puddle of brake fluid forming. Quickly realizing my stupidity, I put the caliper back together and bled it. Then I found out I didn't have a 22mm socket to remove the two bolts that actually hold the caliper in place. Project delayed and personal fail . So much for an engineering and medical degree to guide me through this one on the first try!

Wowzer!.... Ya, the calipers are just fine without being disassembled!
Maybe I should post the link to the caliper removal etc at the beginning of the thread... (edit: done) Hope it all worked out in the end for you Spearfish!

I had to bench the project until next weekend. I was trying to pop the spacers on in an hour before some family came over. Fortunately I got the caliper back together and bled in time for that, but no spacers yet. Also had to get to an autoX today which went pretty well. This next weekend will be spacer install revisited sans caliper disassembly

Word to the wise as you replaced your power steering fluid. You're fine for the Auto-x but when you hit the track next make sure that your fluid is at the 'min' mark (hot or cold as appropriate). My fluid expanded enough to overflow because I had filled it to max, and it smells nasty. And that was with the Stillen PS cooler!

Wow Spearfish...talk about doing it the hard way! LOL. Well, it should be pretty quick when you get to it again next weekend. Good luck.

I ended up doing a spacer install on 3 370Zs and uninstall on 1, so I am pretty quick with it now. Removing the calipers is fun.

Hey spearfish, no worries it happens to the best of us. Glad it all worked out in the end.
I went with H&R 25mm in the rear (bolt on). Btw they look hawt on the 19 sport rims with the OEM Potenza tires. If you plan on going wider on the next set of tires then you may want to reconsider the 25mm in rear and go with somthing smaller. There are pics around here somewhere of mine. |
