XPOTRPR build & BS

I just did this too. Are you also replacing the rear lines??


Much less mush!!!

 

Hahaha. No worries, Brake lines and some paint.

 

That was the plan.. But after all this, I may hold off on them. Depends how the passenger side goes tomorrow. I am ready for them tho. Have all the tiols and know about needing to takr aand dremel to the mounts.

Good to know! That's what I've heard. Between these and the new EBC rotors and green stuff pads, should be a nice improvement.

 

I grabbed the yellow stuffs, and they're impressive!

Unfortunately I had to use my old rotors and just a resurface so I still have potential left on the table

If you wait to install the rears, you will get a chance to see how big of a difference having the rear ran with braided lines actually gives you. It surprised me because I had the fronts braided since my lift spindles were installed years ago!

 

Oh nice! I was lookin at those, but figured the greens would be a good compromise. Hoping for some good results.

Hmm, I might do that then. Feel an upgrade now, an upgrade later. But.. I do need to bleed the brakes now, so it would be the time.

 

Yeah, thats a good point actually.

 

Ill see how the front goes and go from there.

 

You don't have spindle gussets yet?

 

They're on the shelf. Wanted to do them with all this, but just couldn't swing it

 

I gotcha, I need to get mine too. Just too busy and can't swing the $40. I need new brakes haha

 

@MrCrowntown did you have any issues with the rear lines not separating at the flare nut?

I got the flare nut on the top hard lines broke free.. But it just spins and spins. I cant separate the hard line from the OE soft line...



@Crom @05TacoRunner @2ndGenJonny

 

Like the actual threaded part is loose, but the flare is stuck in the ooem flex lines? You can always text me to get ahold of me faster btw

 

Yeah, the threaded section is loose, but also stops halfway.. I can't tell if it's fully unthreaded, or stripped on the second half, OR, if the flare is stuck.

Looks like ill be putting the rear back together, that's if its not fucked already.

Didn't do anything different than the others.. And they all came apart fine.

 

Sounds like the flare is stuck. Doubt you messed up the threads yet, when I did mine it was a bitch too. Just a connection that has never been touched since the original torque at the factory.

 

In the meantime..

 

I don't know how to go about it from here. It just spins and can't pull it out either. Hmmm

 

I would just gyrate the fitting in a bunch of directions while pulling them apart. Not much room for it, but its what I had to do too. Lots of corrosion miles on mine and im sure yours is the same.

 

Haha christmas brakes !! Looks rad with the rotor black

 

Where is the best place to order EBC rotors and pads? Id love to swap to those when I install basically everything you just did lol

 

been goin at it and no dice. its stuck as hell.. I'm wondering if its stripped. Dead in the Water as of now. might be taking tomorrow off to get this resolved.

Yeah I like all the colors!!

Amazon is where I got mine. price was decent. $175 for rotors and pads.
