Aftermarket Brakes ( Hey look guys, I'm an IDIOT!)
We love 'em, and they do all kinds of cool stuff for us like: cook dinner, laundry, and **** like that.............but DO NOT LET THEM HELP YOU WORK ON THE CAR!!
After i pulled the wheels off my car This weekend, I asked my GF to put the wheel inside the garage. Well: i did not tell her EXACTLY what to do with it.............so she took into the garage, and left it standing up. Took about a minute until i heard "CRASH!". There it was......face down on the concrete.
MY FAULT, BECAUSE I DID NOT TELL HER EXACTLY WHAT TO DO.
oh well.
Anyway, for those of you who have aftermarket brakes, and dont want to scratch up those beautiful new calipers: try this.
and tell HER, to go knit something.
two pieces of standard milspec duct tape<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/22415/dsc00042.jpg">bolt the wheel on, and turn the wheel with one hand while peeling the tape off
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/22415/dsc00043.jpg"> keep turning wheel until tape is completely off, making sure to leave feet under car........then ask GF to push car OFF jackstands!

SUB AOA ...... Are those RC's and Stoptech's? I heard that they don't fit without spacers.
Any insight would be appreciated as I have RC's and some said that RC won't clear without some sort of spacers.
TIA!
TIA!
