REMOVING THE BRAKES IN ABOUT AN HOUR 4:00 PM TODAY

I'll see about taking some photos for all who are interested......

I'm going to refinish the brakes so I won't be installing them today just removing them. I should have them done by early next week when I will install them....

Anyone interested in helping feel free to drop on by.....

I got carried away cleaning the garage just now so I suspect I won't start until maybe 6:30 or 7 now.... :(

Just curious but what does refinishing brakes consist of?

Great to have a couple of the locals drop by..... and lend a hand.....

Richard, your wheels look good on my car... :lol:



The calipers and rotors were removed from the car, I'll be stripping down the calipers to the metal and then I'll figure something out....

I may also do something with those ugly looking rotors.....

I'll keep you all posted....
