Great thanks...I'll post results!

 

One more thing that I might add, is do not forget to use brake grease on the back of the brake pads. Screeching noises when you brake is not a good thing.

 

Did my brakes about two summers ago now w/rotex golds, using andrew's directions I believe.

Three things (most of which are previously mentioned):

1. If you have the right tools and this is your first time, be patient, but it can be done in a few hours (all four pads changed). If you don't have the right tools and this is your first time, make sure you have the right tools before you start! The good thing is that its like riding a bike, once you change the pads one time, it is so much easier after that.

2. APPLY BRAKE GREASE TO THE BACK OF THE PADS AND ALL OTHER PARTS OF THE BRAKES EXCEPT THE PAD SURFACE ITSELF. Little packets of brake grease are at the counter at check out of Advance Auto Parts and are 99 cents a packet.

3. I didn't resurface my rotors when I replaced the pads. If you don't resurface OR replace rotors, SEE #2. I have periodically had to regrease my rear pads over the past 20 months (two times total) to get rid of screeching.

I am planning to replace my rotors this summer (will do it myself) unless I updgrade to an SRT. If I do, I will let everyone know how it goes.

Good luck to anyone changing their brake pads!

 

Hey All-
FINALLY got around to this last night and got the fronts done on the SRT pretty easily...

But the T-45 bit is not what the backs take. Anyone know what size I need here???

THANKS!

 

Anybody with that rear size for the SRT???

 

OK, brake wear warning lite on. Picked up some ceramic pads, Advance Auto brand. (Get what I can afford) Anybody up for an assist, I've done brakes before (on an MG Midget LONG AGO) but doing the brakes with another that has done this on the Crossfire as an assist or just a watcher as I do the work helps. Makes sure I don't do the wrong thing.
