Cool thanks. 16-24..hrmph, pretty wide range. I'll do 24.

Thanks guys! This place is like having my own "trustworthy" mechanic hotline for FREE!

Thanks again,

I would expect that when you are done you will re read your original question and chuckle to yourself -

As noted - don't forget to secure the bike to the lift - once you pull the front wheel, the bike may no longer be balanced - boom...

Good luck - a very good update to your braking system - plan on doing mine in about a week

Man, dumbass attacks from every direction

1) You don't HAVE to take the wheel completely out, I was able to give a pump or two on the lift, enough to lower the wheel and remove the discs, but obviously the axle has to come out, so a lift is necessary.

2) I ordered the wrong gd'd part. Thankfully Jenni at Bengy's is very helpful and will get the correct parts out to me asap. I just have to ship these back.

Anyway, I figured since I'd gone this far, I'd see if the rotor swap worked since I had both rotors off anyway, and, no kidding, it worked.

Get a little squeal while backing up, but they're dead silent while moving foward.

So...lessons learned.

Thanks for the responses.
