Hey quick note at 1:42 the rear line where it connects to the hardline needs to rotate so the hex with one smooth side pops all the way up into that hole. I just did mine and after not understanding why the slot for that clip wouldn't go in nice I pulled it out and saw it had to rotate to a specific orientation then pops up another 1/4 inch or so.
Just mentioning so that clip doesn't pop out when racing and start rubbing on the hard line when it falls down into the hole!
I was wondering why that wouldn’t line up, massive thank you. I’ll try to fix it asap
Great video. I would add the step where you degrease the new rotors (most come oiled up from the factory to prevent rust). Also, I understand the rear pistons have these slots where you are supposed to screw them in instead of push them in to make room for the new thicker pads...is that correct? Thx
Yes that is correct, there is a small tool that looks like a cube for about $10 meant to push them in. And yes definitely degrease the rotors with some brake cleaner. Thanks for watching!
@@running2redline just to add: make sure the cross-shaped slot in the caliper piston aligns with the little dowel sticking out of the back of the pad. I've forgotten this a couple of times and had to disassemble everything again. Luckily I didn't drive with it misaligned
What are the torque specs for the Banjo Bolts on the SS lines? Haven’t been able to find them. Great video!
If I remember correctly it was 12-14 ftlbs, but I know it was for sure included with the kit. I bought these from Goodwin racing and the torque spec was on a card in the package. As for the end that connects to the hard line, I just went hand tight. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Hey, how do you make your wheels shine like this?
I used the chemical guys wheel cleaner and tire shine, also getting them off the car does wonders for how well they can be cleaned. Much easier to reach weird spots
I will check it and I think I will buy it. They should sponsor you.@@running2redline
