By turning I mean of course the rotors were machined. They were cleaned up pretty good, and the hub was clean as was the backside of the rotors.
Now I have never done rear discs....so my next question is how different of a job is it over the fronts?
And Frank, just to let you know, the screen door was always a bitch to open and close until you "fixed" it for me......you must have put it back on it'* proper track! Now can you do the same for me with my brakes?
I'm not if the Bonne'* use the leader/follower system thats in my wifes Olds, if so then they are almost as easy as the front disc'* and alot easier than the the old style drum brakes you might have done before, the one with all the springs...
Brian,
You will need to pick up another tool. It'* used to turn in the caliper. On rear brakes they tyipcally are a threaded setup.
Off to find a pic, picy not working.. here'* a linky

Bill'* right. The only real difference from front to back (other than dealing with the parking brake cable) is the piston. Use a large C clamp to compress the pads slightly to be able to swing the caliper up and off. Instructions say no more than 1 mm or damage could result. Then spin the piston clockwise into the bore using that tool. Some use pliers of one type or another to spin it in, but you have to be careful not to damage the boot.
