@Craeshe Do you have blue medium strength thread locker for the calipers? Anti-seize for the the rings of the rotor? Brake lube for the pins and pads? Brakekleen for the oil on rotors? BFH to get the rears off? Torque wrench?
The front is pretty standard, I haven't done the rears on my new truck, but it seems like I remember my old '01 having the parking brake inside the rotor drum and I don't remember having to adjust it or anything after installing the new rotors.
Replace the hoses too, flush the brakes. If it’s been awhile since they’ve been touched start spraying everything with a quality penetrating oil every day, just keep it off the rotors.
Just got a new 30 gallon air tank! Haven't bought any air tools yet though. Might convince the misses that I 'need' them for this job...
I still haven't hooked up my new 60 gallon Ingersol rand and I also need brakes soon. I think the job can be done with hands tools. Some of those front bolts are pretty stubborn though
