About LinkBacksAlrighty! Got my front Brembo parts all ordered... calipers/pads/rotors are on their way (calipers have hoses attached) - Knuckles w/hub & backing plate attached on their way. I think I have all that I need. I see the LX KB article on changing out rotors and pads but nothing on changing out the whole spindle. From what I see, it looks like all I've got to do is pop the stock knuckle off the upper control arm and disconnect the tension strut and tie-rod. Anything else I should know before I tackle this myself? Is it easy to attach the hose? Any special tool needed? Some nut sizes would help too, so I could get my tools ready
What about the topic of fluid bleeding-How do I do this?
A picture (not sure if its from an RT or SRT):
I'd love to have the dealer do it but I'm currently saving my pennies for a Heads (and possibly cam) install. Oh and don't worry guys, I will be driving this land-yacht straight to the dealer for an alignment AND cradle shift RIGHT after I'm done... well, maybe not RIGHT after, but the next day tops!

Lets just say I got the entire front setup (calipers/slotted rotors/pads/knuckles) for a price that would put a certain 'salvage yard' thats known for overcharging for these parts out of business. Originally Posted by NoahVanDyke
