Brake pad install

Anybody wanna help me with installing my new Carbotech Bobcats sometime this weekend? (THANKS SUBYDUDE.) I guess I could do it myself but I've never taken off my wheels by myself, plus I don't have a torque wrench. I'll buy lunch/beer!

Massive, I can help you. Where are you located? I'm in San Jose near EVC. I have more than enough tools. I'll take lunch. I don't drink that much anymore...

Hey Massive you're in Berkley huh. If I was going to be working at the shop this weekend in UC, then I would meet you there. But I'm not sure if I'll be heading there this Saturday. Give me a call...408-497-8306...hopefully you'll get it taken care of.
