Default EBC Pads, 3 down, 1 to go,

Did the rears, first one took me about 1 hour. I could not get the caliper to compress. I finally figured out the correct way to turn the cylinder to get let the C clamp work. (I did not have needle nose pliers, made it a chore.) I did have to compress quite a lot. Even though only 2800 miles, I've been driven with fun in mind, i.e. heavy acceleration and heavy brakes. Easy after that. P21'd the wheel while it was off, zaino'd and one down. Same thing for the second rear, now whole process took about 30 minutes. Then first front, brake no problem, but the interior of my wheel, wow, P21 is going to take awhile on this puppy. I tried to wash and sponging off immediately, but still lots of dust dirt. Re P21'd and now letting it sit. Now I really wish that I changed these pads immediately after getting the car. Oh well, back out to see how the P21 is doing and then on to the last pad.

Default Two Words: Edging Clamp $4.00, Compress and turn at the same time.
