Hello all
I am going to attempt to install 4 new rotors on my 98 GT this weekend and need some install advise/tips. I'm pretty mechanically savvy but I've never done a rotor swap. I've changed my pads several times though. I wasn't planning on changing the pads because all 4 sides have about 4,000 miles on them or should I go through with swapping out all new pads and compressing the pistons again? I have been told that I should flush the brake system as well. How do I do that? Do I just siphon the master cylinder reservoir and disconnect the hoses from the calipers and let the fluid drain? Basically what I need to know are the proper steps for this Job. I know it's probably isn't as easy as removing the calipers, old rotors, installing the new rotors and remounting the calipers.
