H6 rear brake upgrade
Posted: Sat May 17, 2008 10:32 pm
I installed the famous H6 rear brake upgrade this afternoon. everything went pretty well and the job was finished with only a few minor issues (minor thanks to Zak ). I won't get into the details as there are quite a few excellent write ups for this install already, but here are my tips for a successful H6 upgrade install:
1. make sure you have rear brake pads AND PAD RETAINER CLIPS for a 2002 WRX.
I had the pads but not the clips (thanks Zak)
2. make sure you have 2 bolts of the correct size to thread into the rotor if it is frozen to the hub.
I didn't, but I'm sure you can guess who did...
3. make sure you have a large diameter, very sharp drill bit to remove the dust shields.
I had a sharp drill bit and Zak had a large drill bit, between them I got the job done.
