With all due respect if you don't know what you are doing maybe you should get a mechanic to do it, you don't wanna overtighten something or forget to hook something back up, especially with brakes!

Good ole trusty hammers, where would the automotive world be without them?I was surprised I didn't dent my stock ones when I upgraded! The neighbours weren't too happy about the sound either...
