So I plan on DIY-ing the front brakes this weekend and just wanted to get a few things straight..
I did read the DIY but stil have a few questions.
The parts I will be using are:
-Akebono ProACT Ceramic pads
-Centric rotors 120.40064
1. The pads came with some grease.. Should I use this or get some EBC brake quiet?
2. Are the rotor retaining screws necessary? Should I put them back or is it ok if I don't use them when I put my new rotors on?
3. I plan on picking up some brake cleaner to clean the rotors before placing them on the car and some anti-seize to put around the hub.. is it safe to use the anti-seize on the sliding pins on the caliper or should i get some silcone grease?
anything else I should be aware of before i tackle this job??
