Just got the powerslots in.
 
Well just the back ones, there was a bit of a mix up with the front pads so that will have to wait till tommorow.


Word of advice: Don't even consider doing brake work (anything over changing pads) without pneumatic tools. I tried not using them and I couldn't do it.

Pulled out the impact wrench and I didn't even break a sweat. Just push the button.:D

Now all I have to do it break the rotor and pads in. Maybe it's good I only put one set on, just in case! :eek: :eek: :D

Wheel bearing?!? :eek: Goodness no. I didn't even take the bearing out.

I use the impact wrench ONLY for taking things off, NEVER NEVER do I use it to put anything on, gosh esp brakes. Can you imagine? You'd never get those blots off. :eek:

Same goes for the Torque wrench, only used for putting bolts back on, never used to losen/take parts off.
