96 Brake install ?'s

[shoinoff95]

I have an all new upgraded brakes to put on the front consisting of 96 rotors, pads, and caliper brackets. I have never done any brake work before, are there any special tools or anything that I should know before doing this upgrage to my '95? It looks prety straight forward, but I am just looking for any suggestions to avoid any headaches while doing this project! Thanks.

You'll need a torque wrench,a tire iron, a (T-40 IIRC)torx bit, a set of sockets, and maybe a screw driver or two(Flat head).

If you're putting this on a 94 or 95 it takes few tools to do the job. A good socket set is about it, but the bolts that attach the bracket to the hub are torqued pretty tightly. You may need a good socket wrench and a cheater bar to get them out (I have a three-foot piece of thick conduit that works perfectly for this).

Do get a torque wrench to properly torque the bolts when you reassemble. Some threadlock is appropriate as well. There are instructions, IIRC, on shotimes.com for this.
