This time a serious question

Ok Timbo & everybody else,

Any reputable mechanic or tyre / brake place can do this for you , but to do them properly takes time , so it will cost you big $$$$$$.


Do it yourself and save :D $300.00 goes a long way towards your fuel .

B...free

Thanks for the tip L&L but I don't have off street parking where I live and I don't fancy jacking up the car on an uneven cobblestone gutter. Besides if a mechanic/tyre dude stuffs up the job - I can blame them.
Also I get free fuel :D
Regards
Rick

get your trusty mechanics to do it.
to do it properly, its best to remove the calipers off the car, sand and clean them properly and apply those caliper paint then put it back..... but make sure they bleed the brakes
its a boring job and not many mechanics will do it :o

Taka is a Melbourne person I think

Do you want to do it together... I mean with a mechanics of course?

When do you plan to do it? I have to take a day off since that guy does not open on the weekend... I am planning to do it next month with my brake, diff and engine oil change.
