Tools needed: 14mm socket and/or wrench 17mm thin open end wrench if slide pins spin when removing them or tightening them. Flathead Screwdriver or small pry bar for prying the caliper piston back in. Torque wrench Silicone Based Brake grease Jack and Jack Stands The torque specs I found online are: 25 ft. lbs for the caliper slide pin bolts 79 ft. lbs for the caliper bracket bolts (I didn't take off the caliper bracket since we didn't change the rotor) I used the 'Import Direct' brand of brake pads from O'reilly Auto Parts. The Orange Coating on the surface of the pad is an abrasive coating, it cleans the old pad transfer matierial off the rotors. It's supposed to help with cleaning the old rotor during the 'break-in' period when they are installed with used, un-unturned rotors. These pads are working great and the owner is happy with the braking performance. Thanks for watching!
