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.

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!

you didn't use the gun to put the nut over the wheel bearing right??

Wheel bearing?!? 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.

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