Changed the front brakes yesterday (Brembo Rotors/Akebono pads)...very pleased with the combination so far. I was able to get everything apart OK, accept I needed to torch (MAPP Gas) the bolts for the outer part of the calipers. Came out fine with the Impact wrench after heating them up. Looks like Saab loctite them in at the last brake job. The first brake took my some time, as I tried to get the bolts without heat / impact wrench but just trying to get some leverage with a bar. Once, I changed to use the torch with the impact wrench it went smooth. The next side took about 15 minutes.
I didn't break the Axle Nut and repack bearings...is this something that should have been done?
