ADirtyLegacy Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 awesome vid, but a couple of Q's 1) for the LGT, don't you have to remove the caliper to get to the pads? so wouldn't you have to use a c-clamp to push the pistons back in? 2) water to kill off/dilute spilled brake fluid?! 3) does the LGT have dual bleed screws like the STi?

TSiWRX Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 1) for the LGT, don't you have to remove the caliper to get to the pads? so wouldn't you have to use a c-clamp to push the pistons back in? Well, the thing is, Kenda, the procedure shown in the video is specific for the OEM STi Brembo setup. As such, all you'd need to do is pretty much what they show ya. On the stockers for our LGTs, if I remember correctly, it's a "swing-up" deal on the calipers. Once they're "up," you should be able to remove the pads and then push-in the pistons in preparation for loading new pads. 3) does the LGT have dual bleed screws like the STi? Again, since this is for the OEM STi-upgrades, yes, those Brembos are the same as shown, and will have outboard and inboard bleeders. If I recall correctly, our stockers are a one-bleeder per caliper deal. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joon525 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 It looked like he put in the shim on the wrong side of the bracket but I have to watch it again to be sure, or there's something different about those lines/STi.. I'm a little surprised that they aired this with the car only being supported by a jack even though they flashed the warning to not do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caramall2 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 C Clamp: In case someone reads this, note that you may need to use a C clamp on your calipers in order for them to fit over the rotor if you're installing new pads (note I didn't install new lines so the brake fluid was still full as I was changing pads). I had to do this on both pistons, one at a time, on each caliper (each stock caliper has 2 pistons). I put a small wood shim between the clamp and the pad to protect it. I also took out the outside pad (the pad not on the piston) to make more room for the C clamp. awesome vid, but a couple of Q's 1) for the LGT, don't you have to remove the caliper to get to the pads? so wouldn't you have to use a c-clamp to push the pistons back in? 2) water to kill off/dilute spilled brake fluid?! 3) does the LGT have dual bleed screws like the STi?

05gtlimited300 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 make sure the bleeder valves are snug, not incredibly tight. Bleeder valve are super fragile, ive made that mistake before and completely tore apart the valve and it is the biggest PIA to get the broken one out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it! Should be similar on the LGTs. Now tell me where we can find a video for the rotors! I know KEFEE posted a how to...but I don't think he used a high def camera crew...

Its the only thing that sounds confusing...everythign else loooks straight forward. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
