    its FINALLY come time...brakes!...gurus assistance please!

    okay its come time for new brakes on H356! And they are probably THE last thing on the truck that i've NEVER touched so needless to say i'm a little in the dark on what exactly I need to get the job done.

    Here's what I want to do:
    1.) Rotorpro slotted black zinc coated rotors
    .....no questions here

    2.) Green Stuff Pads
    .....where's the best place to buy them?

    3.) SS Brake Lines
    .....is all i need this? http://dagostinoracing.com/index.php...ducts_id=11703
    .....they are for the L, but will they work on the HD's brakes?
    .....are there any other SS lines needed?

    4.) PSP Line Lock
    .....no questions here

    5.) New Fluid
    .....dot 3, dot 4, dot 5???

    6.) Speed Bleeders
    .....advance auto have just standard ones that'll work? or should i order online?

    7.) Bearings
    .....is there any other bearings or anything i need to buy or replace? or will the rotors come with them, etc.? If so, PN's and place to order from???



    Havent done a lot of searching yet on the topics, but if any of you brake guru's or fellas that know the answers to any of those questions could post up i'd really appreciate it! Brakes are pretty much the only thing on this truck I've never modded or fiddled with

    nope, the truck gets RACED, so cant do a big brake kit or wont be able to fit the slicks and skinnies.

    so....questions 1-7....

    recently got my EBC green stuff at pep boys for $52.xx.

    I had to go back a 2nd time cause the num-nuts at the counter gave me the regular f150 pads and not the lightning f-150.

    I got an 03HD, but when I went to pep boys I didn't bring the old pads with my and the guy over the counter had to look it up. He sold me the reg f150 pads, when I got back home and started to change out the pads it wouldn't fit in the caliper. Took it back to pep boys with the old pads and got them exchanged for the lightning pads

    Fit like a glove...

    or someone put L front and rear rotors and calipers on your truck....

    We have stock f-150 rotors and calipers, nothing special on our trucks

    get dot 3. one of the performance shops by me had wilwood dot 3 fluid so i bought that. i have hawk pads and have never had anyproblems with em. you shouldn't need help the brakes are very simple. only thing you might need is somebody to help pump the brakes when you bleed them

    aight i thought we had normal f150 brakes

    for bleeding I was figuring on purchasing one of these like tim skelton got
    http://www.motiveproducts.com/02bleeders.html

    i'll check pepboys for green stuff pads, but any other places online? I wont get to a pepboys til this weekend but would like to order parts like tomorrow.

    and anybody know more about the SS lines if the Russel ones will fit our trucks? and any more info on bearings? what exactly i need? PN's? etc?
