It was pretty simple:
1. Jack it up on axle stands
2. Take the wheels off
3. Wedge the brake pedal
4. Remove old brakes and lines
5. Clean hubs
6. Fit new caliper brakets and torque
7. Fit discs (you can check for run out, to uncover wheel bearing play at this point) I didn't as I knew they were sweet.
8. Fit new calipers and torque
9. Fit new brake lines and torque new union
10. Bleed inner nipples, washing excess fluid off with soapy water
11. Bleed outer nipples, washing excess fluid off with soapy water
12. Torque nipples
13. Refit wheels and tighten
14. Lower vehicle and torque wheels
15. Bed in brakes and enjoy!
The pads are already fitted to the calipers and the rotors and already bolted to the bells.
Tools Needed:
Jack
Axle stands
19mm 1/2" socket & breaker bar (removing/refitting wheels)
18mm socket (for removing old brakets and fitting/torquing new caliper brackets)
13mm spanner (brake pipe one if you have it, for removing old lines and fitting brake pipe end of new lines)
10mm hex socket (for fitting/torquing new calipers to new brakets)
14mm socket (for fitting/torquing new banjo bolt)
11mm socket (for torquing bleed nipples)
11mm brake pipe spanner (for new bleed nipples)
10mm spanner (for adjusting the brake line bracket)
Lever bar (for adjusting the brake line bracket)
Copper hammer (for adjusting the brake line bracket)
Jam jar/brake fluid container
Brake fluid
Something to wedge between the seat and the brake pedal
Torque wrench
1/2", 3/8 wrench
A 2nd person to help bleed the brakes.
It took me 4 hours to fit with just hand tools. I could of rushed it in an 1 hour with air tools.
I don't like rushing jobs, because thats when you make mistakes. It was a nice sunny day so I took my time, had some lunch, took some snaps.
Any questions let me know and I will do my best to answer. To be honest the manual Brembo supplied is fantastic and is in many languages.
I did have to get some of the torque settings from the Chrysler manual.
