Another Reason to Love Youtube

This weekend project is thanks to the plethora of how-to videos on Youtube, a reassuring brother, and a closeted inner mechanic.

Break the lug nuts loose by bouncing all of your 100 pounds on a tire wrench.   Remove a bolt to lift up the caliper to reveal the old pads.

Pop 'em out.

Give the piston a good squeeze to make room for the new pads.

Y voila!  New shoes.
p.s.- Other Youtube videos of interest: gluing a hair weave, harvesting compost worms, crazy mad guitar skills.
