Brake changing

Post by MaX3 »

Is there a good online manual for changing the brakes on the car? I have a 92 MX3 and just wanted to learn how to do it. I am having a hard time finding a Chilton book around here for this car.

Thanks

Man, I've answered about three different posts of yours asking the exact same question. Do you even check your posts for replies? Quit wasting my time.

I give you, three different threads, where you've asked the same question three different times, and I've given you the same answer, with no acknowlegement whatsoever from you. Grow up please...

Grow up? Ok.. sorry for only being almost 14 and trying to learn how change brakes on this car. I looked in that online manual and found how to change pads but nothing for changing rotors. I am gonna get the manual from canadian tire this weekend cause it would be easy to read instead of looking at that online one.

Thanks for the help guy.

The point is, "guy", that you repeatedly asked the same question without acknowledgement for the advice that you were given. There's nothing wrong with being 14 and not understanding something. Just show some common decency and respect. I went out of my way to look through the online manual, and find exactly which section you needed to look at.

I also asked you many times what in particular you weren't sure about. Of course, you did not reply. You just started new threads, and asked the same question.

And if you're being snotty with me, watch yourself.

I am not being snotty, I am new to this and trying to ask questions on to work on this car. Maybe my age shows and I shouldnt be here trying to learn. Forget it. I will sit back and just keep quiet.

No, it's good that you're trying to learn at such a young age. What I'm saying is that I've offered my help on numerous occasions, and you've not acknowledged what I've said. You just post the same question in a different thread.

I've now said the exact same thing three times again, and you're not understanding me. So I will stop responding to your posts. Good luck.

holy? sure your 14?

But ANYWAYS!! take off your tires ( 4 bolts each), Take a 12mm ( i think) and loosen the Brake Caliber bolts on the back side and take them out, take and pull the caliber off of the rotor and pull out the pad's, take something to turn the piston on the caliber and turn it back in so its not sticking out, then put new pads in there, THEN! just pull your rotor off of the hub it should just come off but sometimes its stuck so just yank on it, put a new rotor on the same way you took the old one off and then install in reverse. SIMPLE.

Hardest part is turning back the piston on the caliber...

Next time dont post so many threads and check back on your old ones and see if anyone replied to them. There is alot of people that would like to help but most of this stuff is achievable by searching.
