rotor replacement

[jsta6]

OK, I got new rotors and pads.

Before I start the job, what else do I need while I am there? Some kind of hub seals or something?

Depending on the mileage - I would replace the bearings as well. They're pretty cheap. You will need rotor grease seals if they didn't come in the kit.. INboard and outboard. Get some caliper grease too.

Thanks.

I just go to my local parts store and ask for:

1. bearings.
2. inboard and outboard rotor grease seals.
3. caliper grease.

If you get new bearings, you might want to get new races that the bearings seat into inside the rotor axle hub. You will need a small point punch to remove these also.

I put new rotors on mine at the same time since they were only $15 each after core trade-in, and also new front brake lines. If you want to try out some non-stock pads, I'll recommend Performance Friction ceramics ($45 I think), got mine at Autozone. You'll want a can of axle grease to pack the bearings also. Couple cans of brake cleaner is good also to clean everything down prior to dissasembly.

VHT makes some caliper paint........cheeper than eastwoods and in a spray can. Gonna give it a shot on mine........think they'll look good in red :zahn:
