LOL
I will warn you of one other trick the US is trying to do...that $#%^&&%$# coin. Ask any Alfa male Canadian how they feel about all the change they have to carry around and they will say AHHHHHHHHHHH. The coins are cheaper for the gov..but who wants a purse.. Canada now has the $1, $2 and they are working on a $5 coin.
So along with metric watch out for the coin push.

The back brakes are sooo much more fun. Make sure you get the right tools for the back brakes. Any chances you get check your rear adjusters on the brakes. They come out of adjustment and cause your rear brakes to loosen up. If this happens your front brakes will be doing all the work to stop the car and cause the front rotors to warp.

so I'll need the 3/8ince I have a 94 right?
also is that the type socket (starsocket) that will fit on a rachet?
compressing the piston???is that the brake pads???
are these the same instructions for the back brakes?
http://neptune.spacebears.com/cars/*.../frtbrake.html
are only for replacing the front disc pads. Those instructions are quite good, although I don't really see why they say to bleed the brakes Before AND After replacing the pads. Just bleed the system after your new front pads and rear shoes are on the car. Oh, and if your not sure of the correct procedure to bleed the brakes, make sure you ask in this forum(maybe one day they'll add that procedure in TechInfo)
