Minor brake service

So it was about time to roll the STi out of the garage and actually inspect what was left of the rear brakes. They were making a horrid grinding sound after the last track day.




Pulling the caliper off revealed bits of metal from the old pads!


The difference in size between the new and old pads was ridiculous! We should've definitely changed them before the last track day. Our friend Elias popped by and helped with popping the new pads in, pushing the piston back into place and bleeding the brake system. 


And now she's ready for the next track day!

    That seemed very quick.Maybe that's why you said "minor". Me, I don't have such a knack at doing these kinds of things even though "minor". I'd mostly like end up with a mechanic in tow.

    I agree with the first commentator.You look like an expert doing your break repair there.It was quite fast,I pressume.
