Budget Brake Upgrade
Grab the new rotor and clean it with brake cleaner to remove the shavings and protective film. At this point you may want to change your rear wheel bearings. Make sure everything is greased up properly and set the rotor on. Next, put the spindle nut back on, tighten it down, and insert the cotter pin. Place the cap back on, set the carrier in place, and tighten it. Set the pads in the carrier, slide the caliper on, and tighten it back down. Place the e-brake cable back in its clip and verify you have done everything. Helpful tip: Bearings don’t like to move; they get set in their race and like to stay there. When doing your brakes, it is best to replace the rear wheel bearings as well.
