well, this was when I was doing the 2-year old brake pads. (I did the rotor when I changed my ball joint.) I also stepped on the brake pedal with the caliper disconnected :slap:

Sounds like I have to be a little cautious when I do this...Did I make the right choice for the rotors and pads?

pads are really easy to change. u need a regular socket set. you do NOT need to disconnect the brake line for it... (manTIS don't know why you did) I change my brakes typically every two years... if they last that long and I don' thave an issue with not being able to compress them. just remember the front caliper you push in, the rear ones you twist back in.
