Time to do the Brakes. My Dad is in town and helped oversee my sub-par mechanic skills. turns out it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.

I usually do full DIY's but i gotta say the simplicity of the Brakes DIY in the 2GS FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) and DIY Thread â˜… was done so well.




Like my wooden ramps? haha, only way to get a jack under her




all jacked up. peep my custom one off weight reduction exhaust system 






Didnt have a C-Clamp, so my Dad cleverly used a socket and a pry bar




Those 17mm bolts on the back are a b!ch to remove. i broke two ratchets trying before i went to buy a breaker bar and a better ratchet. then everything went smooth







also pay attention to the way the rears are held in place




gettin dark. no more time for pics




well. maybe one more


till next time. no more squeaky brakes. amen
