anything i have to watch out for when changing them, do i have to take off the e-brake & then readjust it when im done??

its my first time changing the back brake & rotors and i didnt know if i was going to run into any problems!

Not really any secrets to it. I would definitely do one side at a time to avoid fighting with the caliper piston get pushed out.

The rear rotors do have a small trick to them. Some will right off like the fronts; others need some help. If you have the latter, take a screw from the radiator support or something and screw it into the rotor to 'push' it away and loosen it up.

I had to loosen 1 side; they other just pulled off.

with the rears you have to keep the parking brake off, otherwise the shoes will hold the rotors on. if you find the rotor still won't come loose even with the ebrake off it means the rotor its getting held up by the ebrack and it will need to be backed off. all you need to do in that case is spin the rotor so the rubber bushing on the rotor hat is facing in the 6 o'clock position, then remove the rubber bushing. you will see teeth to a wheel thru the hole. you want to rotate that wheel towards you to bring the brake shoes in and release the rotor.

might sound more complex then it is because I'm not good at explaining things in text but it should be pretty straight forward once you get there. good luck.

I need help with this. I rotated the wheel inside the rotor to loosen the rotor and it still does not come loose. I need some help on how to remove the rear rotors I'm stuck

Heres an Update. I used this magical thing called the search button... and found out about the raidiator support screws. And presto. Seems my old rotor was pretty rusted on.

when re-installing them, sandpaper the back side to the hub and use some grease there so that next time would make for easy removal

Thx for that Davo. Sanded them a little.

I have two questions. What's the size of the hex socket on the front calipers? And for the rear rotors, ever since I replaced them with new brake pads, the ebrake has been lighter/weaker. Any advice on how to strenghen or tighten them?
