Hey everyones,

so tomorrow i'm going to redo the brakes on my blazer which has 4 wheel disk. I'm putting new rotors and pads on but i want to make sure there's nothing more i can do when i have it all torn apart. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Update,

Just to let anyone who looks at this thread know i finished replacing the brakes and it makes all the difference. The whole process went pretty smooth for the front, but when we got to the back we noticed the calibers weren't floating properly. We proceeded to pull the caliber bracket off and try to unscrew the bolt it floats on out. Big mistake, we busted the bolt out in the whole, had to go to advanced auto parts and spend $50 to get the new brackets and now the calibers float great!!

Total Time - 2-3hours
Total Cost - $250
Experience for a 16 year old learning how to replace brakes - priceless
