just bend over and grab your ankles -- nm - pixitude May 2, 10:08
pads, or the entire thing? - colin May 2, 10:07 5
- the vw shop says i should replace the pads and rotors - tRuMaN (oddly mispronounced) May 2, 10:10 4
  - unless they have 200,000 on them, it's unlikely the rotors actually need changing, even then. -- nm - zork May 2, 10:12 3
    - they sent me a pdf explaining my car repair stuff - tRuMaN (oddly mispronounced) May 2, 10:13 2
      - I've been told that and just replaced the pads and everything was fine. I don't expect they will argue much if you say you want to do this since it's - zork May 2, 10:20
      - can't machine it? - colin May 2, 10:14
from previous posts of stuff you've done I'm surprised you can't do them yourself - guessing it's just something tool wise you're missing? -- nm - JenBro May 2, 10:07 6

- i probably could, i have done them in the past, i just dont like to. - tRuMaN (oddly mispronounced) May 2, 10:08 3
  - I used to change them on my Taurus but I just couldn't do it when I tried on the Sebring. - zork May 2, 10:14 1
    - because they were imported? - JenBro May 2, 10:27
  - yep - I figured as much :) -- nm - JenBro May 2, 10:11
- adjustable wrench, c-clamp. bam. -- nm - colin May 2, 10:07
