How much time to replace brakes?, front and rear Options

[liquor]

I need to have replaced all 4 discs + pads on my 94 GT. How long should it take to do this job?

[jdg371]

less than an hour.. have every tool needed and all the parts. dont forget the never sieze(sp)

If I remember corectly.. you need a 14, 17,8, vicegrip, partner (for bleeding the brakes)

You should NOT have to bleed the brakes to change the discs/pads.

If all the bolts unfasten easily and you can get all the wheels off at the same time then about an hour, otherwise I would leave yourself 2hours + if you have to take wheels off individually and 3-4hours if you have to lube the bolts before unfastening them

took me close to 1 day to replace the rear pads....wheels off, easy, peasy...2 pins that hold the pads in place were stuck fast, no amount of penetrating oil would budge them....ended up having to remove the calipers totally from the car..start with a small drill and work'd my way up to virtually drilling the pins out..then quick hammer with a punch got them out...replace, repete on the other side, then bleed the brakes...propper night mare...the pads hadnt been out in years, infact the pads were in japanese so i reccon a good 5 or 6 years since they were out...not fun at all...need someone to make me some of the pins in stainless steel..will stop the alloy/steel binding together...
