Nate,


I think he's asking about Disc Brake pad replacement.


I don't think anybody has put one together yet. They're just disc brakes so it should not be rocket science.

That makes no sense. In what? DIY would make more sense. And what up with the Stupid face because I don't know some GEEK abbreviation?


Any ways,


To change pads, loosen the bolts holding caliper pull it free, take off old pads, open master cylinder get big ass c clamp and squish the caliper shut, put on brake pads put caliber back on tighten bolts, check brake fluid. repeat for other side. pump up brakes that it.


If the guy doesn't know how to do that. There is now way he will be able to pull rotors or bleed the brakes.Edited by: Turfmower

Especially rotors on these trucks, that factory guy used too much glue on mine! He probably thought it was funny... http://dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif
