This was my first project on my car and it was a partial success. I wanted to replace the pads on 4 corners and also the front rotors. The pads (Metal-Meister) were very easy, actually the hardest part was reinstalling the brake pad wear sensors. The rears had this little clip that was a bugger to get in. Anyway total time was 2 hours of which most was used in jacking the car and removing the wheels. Other nice to have items:
1. Torque wrench
2. Soft socket
3. Hand cleaner (actually a must have...you're gonna get real dirty)
The rotors were not completed. My 86 Carrera was not like the project car in Waynes 101 book and the hard/soft line connection needed to be broken in order for me to move the calipers out of the way.
Had I known that I would have armed myself with the appropriate box wrench, brake fluid, and bleed system. Actually I will attempt this in another week or so and also replace the soft lines with SS DOT lines too.
Good luck, you should have no problems, but if you do post here and you'll probably get good response. I sure did!
