haven't had a look yet but my ex used to do them at home so can't be too hard right?

hah yeh try to get ANYTHING done right before easter long weekend.. not happening.. seems easier to do it myself as usual, besides then when something is fckd I know what it is :) I don't have to go back in there 500 times to get them to fix their crap...

i have never seen a car u can change a pad without removing the caliper. Do they exist?

Look its pretty easy

remove wheel

undo 2 bolts that hold caliper on and remove

unclip and remove pads

push pistons back in, helps if you remove the reservoir cap

put in new pads and refit calipers

also, if I don't take it to a good friend.. they will *guaranteed* tell me I need new rotors, whether I do or not, AND I need to mount a speedboat onto my radiator fan because otherwise a wheel bearing will go flying out of the passenger footwell and take out the fuel pump on it's way..

If I even try to argue that logic a little bit then they become defensive real quick.. randoms are unable to do exactly what they're asked and only that.. guaranteed they will find an african elephant in an intake pipe that needs a new turbo to fix, because I'm a woman, what would I know??

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
