Hillsndale Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Manual Pay close attention to the precautions regarding ABS, ie. open bleeder before compressing the calipers. Use a wire to support the calipers so they don't fall/hang from the brake hose. Be sure to take the rotors in for turning/resurfacing. On older Toyotas at least, there would be threaded holes that you screw a small bolt into to pull the rotor off the hub face. Something like 8mm (bolt size, not socket size). Anyone remember the bolt size? Just don't hammer on it with a steel hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
