I just swapped my brake pads and now it jsut hit me that maybe their is a certain way to do this. I was swapping rotors and calipers as well so this is what I did.
1. Pulled off entire caliper and rotor
2. Popped off pads from new caliper
3. Popped new pads on to new caliper
4. Popped caliper onto new rotor
5. Bolted rotor and caliper to the car
6. Change brake fluid/bleed it.
I found this hi temp grease in hte box for the pads, was I supposed to use that somewhere? Was I supposed to shim anything or whatever? Am I going to live? I didnt change the brake fluid yet so I can still go back and fix whatever. What do I need to do or am I good?
