Brakes

[sammcgee]

I need to re-do brakes on my 88 Festy. I've read the posts about the Aspire swap but I'm really cheap and only drive 55 anyway. (Sometimes the Amish even pass me.) The rotors are shot so I will be replacing them. Are there any difficulties that I am going to encounter or is it a simple job?

thanks for your help...

Yes. The festiva rotors are bolted on the back of the hubs. They are a pain to get off. You need to remove the halfshaft nut then pull the hub off. A slide hammer works nice. Then you'll see the bolts that hold the rotor on.

ok thanks.......it seems like I read about having to press something back on but probably that was wheel bearings.
thanks for the reply
