Default Anyone in the Springs/Denver/Pueblo Area wanna help change brake pads

I have access to an Auto DIY garage or we can do the work in my garage. I really want to change my front brake pads but would like an extra set of eyes in case I screw something up.

I'll even give your Z a free hand wash and hand dry right in my garage for anyone willing to come down.

Anyone wanna jump in on getting their pads changed as well. I am off this weekend and all next week. I can do this anyday or night!

I am also willing to come to anyone in the Springs area as well if someone is very knowledgeable in this area, Thanks,

Charles

Charles- I'm willing to help if you bring your Z to my house in Aurora. My shop has the correct tools and supplies to do this job right!

My car needs a wash, think you can do that after you clean Davids' cars while I watch him change the pads? ;-)

Motorsport Editor Dude. While you're being your ever-present accommodating self, how about my S8 new Colbalt Friction brakes (w/dkmura discount)?

Get summer yet?

I'm sure he'd welcome the opportunity to deal with anything friction related with you.

Don't get me started Joe. I have the power of the press and I'll, and I'll.. Oh, never mind.

Oooo! Let's arrange a grudge match after the brake work is over. Imagine it... the "power of the press" vs. the King of Trivia! This might be better than Godzilla and Mothra (let's hope my garage isn't Tokyo).

I'll do one side, you can do the other for a free wash.

Publisher Dude- Of course I'll accomodate you! Now just where did I put all those Audi parts? Oh yeah, all those brakes went to LeMans for the 24 hour race! Hold off for now, willya? Everyone knows you don't need brakes with that car anyway!

No summer yet, but winter looks like it wants back in...

Well guys thanks for the offers, I did the brakes all by myself today and even bedded them in properly. AHHHH, no dust and no squeals as of yet. Thanks again for the offers.

I'm in Colorado Springs, I'd be glad to help with anything you're working on in the future if you ever need an extra pair of hands. Just let me know on here or pm. Sorry I didn't see this thread in time, but I'm glad you got it done. Feels good, eh? Now you just need some ss brake lines, complete flush with Motul, larger rotors, calipers to go with....
