One corner done. I'm kinda proud of myself. Mechanically inclined but never did brakes before. Now I'm wondering - why?Got a late start today. One corner dismantled. I was nervous about the 251 ft on the hub nut but a breaker bar and 3.5 ft pipe to care of that. Hopefully I'll get all the new stuff on by this evening.

The brake line banjo side is definitely thinner. Thanks! I honestly forgot about that and did not get the AM bolts. I reused the stock bolt. Left the proximal copper washer on because it looked really good. Put a new washer on the far side of the block, tightened it down by and and it snugged up across the bolt, washers and caliper to the point that the was movement. Tightened to 22 and seems tight. Maybe I got lucky with the caliper. I'll see if it bleeds and leaks when I pressurize. If goes bad I'll get the dormant bolt. I'll pay closer attention to the other side today. I already have and gonna be running r12 and 10s and "should" not be that aggressive since I'm new. Stoptech 23 on for street. When I go through the 1st set of track pads then maybe I'll look at the rear upgrade.Nice. Just double check the banjo bolt to make sure it's the right length. I heard somewhere that the Russell fittings are thinner than stock and therefore the banjo bolt goes deeper (or maybe bottoms out)
If you're not already planning it, I recommend you upgrade to the 13-14 GT500 13.2" rotors. There are adapters sold on eBay or you can swap out the axle mounting plates for the GT500 ones. This should give you better brake balance and extend the life of your rear pads & rotors.
I played the “Which store has the Cooper Washers” game once. Then I bought an assortment of washers on line that I keep in my trailer.
Still have to do the rear lines, rear pads and flush the whole system. The r10s will be staying on the rear in spite of not being " supposed" to . I will not be doing much street driving. Fronts will get swapped at the track. Oil change too. I have a 4 day weekend so doing a little every day. I decided that because I have a tendency of trying to do everything at once and yesterday which turns into no fun. Trying to make all aspects of this hobby enjoyable. There weather is not going to break here for some time and would like a good rain to wash some of the salt off the roads. We had 1/8" of ice in everything this morning. I'm to frisky on the throttle which doesn't mix well with like a rock hard 30 degree tires. No driving anytime soon. Everything will fall in place eventually.Who says inanimate beings wont respond to threats. Works for me too. LOL
How does she stop now?? Will the weather let you take her outside??
