4-Pot Pad Change (Sumitomo Caliper)


Recommended Posts

I couldn't find a how to on this, so thought I would try my hand as I was already taking photos on to remind myself. I know they're some of the easier things to do and most on here will know how, but hopefully it will help someone.

It's a very easy job to change the pads in these, so time to get stuck in.

What you will need;

⦁ Set of Pads (obviously) Bendix - DB1170, TRW - GDB1006

⦁ Jack

That's pretty much it for what I consider mandatory, but I'd recommend also having;

⦁ Jack Stands

⦁ A set of needle nose pliers

⦁ A can of brake clean

⦁ Anti Seize

So before we start, get the front up in the air and the wheels off. If you have stands use them. You won't be going under the car, but better safe then sorry!

Hope thats good enough. I have other pictures, but I tried to condense it down, so if you think there's a step that needs explanation let me know.

And yes, i know I did number 3 twice -_-

Good write up, but you should add bleeding procedure for completeness =]

Annoyingly I actually bled all the brakes the FIRST time I put the pads in :P Oh well, theres always next time

Cheers for the comments anyway guys, I was worried people would hate it

Very nice. I'll just add that if the original pads were quite low, pushing the pistons back can make the fluid reservoir overflow so keep an eye on it. Or if full, draw some out before starting. Then check fluid levels afterwards.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
