Just realized I don’t have grease for the pins so they’re going in ungreased

If there's one piece of advice I've picked up from my wife, it's that putting it in ungreased is never a good idea :ROFLMAO:

Also, looking good.

Only thing I think it's torqued are my wheel studs and lug nuts 😂

Nice.....looks like I'll be making a lowes run after breakfast.....the digital torques look awesome, but Imma save $150 and just get manual

WFH today too, so going to work on the passenger side........will torque caliper bolts properly lol.....then will bleed all four corners.

Surprisingly, gravity bleeding per AJ's recommendation was almost instantaneous, so I'll be checking for leaks this morning....looked good last night tho

Found some CRC brake grease so I’m applying those to the pins. All gravity bled so just need proper torque and full system bleed, and should be good to go

fluid flush epic fail . . . lol . . . . didn't properly seal the cap and lost a ton on my garage floor. . . yay. Got it reset and then started anew. All four corners done, just need to torque the carrier bolts.

That made me feel a little better lol.

I tried to get it all up but I’m pretty sure there’s a few stains under each corner and a massive one underneath where the car was up in the air now

The rear brakes did not bleed as much as I thought they would but I at least got a little bit out. No air bubbles, front or rear that I can tell.
