I'm doing my brakes today...any final tips?

oh jeez...scratch pad? Like how rough...something metallic? Like Steel wool stuff?



Steel wool works fine, not too hard, just enough to clean the surface.



Then take them out and bed them :P

when you are pushing the pads back in, I would crack the bleed nipple rather than force the fluid back up stream, as you might send some gunk back into the master or possibly ABS pump

When removing the screws apply a little heat(propane torch) to the area around the screws and that will help them com out a little easier. If you are going to bleed the brakes make sure the resovoir stays full during the process. As far as cleaning up the rotors scotch brite (3M) pads work great.
