Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion

Next on your list is probably spark plugs and oil tubes if you have earlier MK I models, that will be a bit more difficult and involved when compared to changing brakes.

41 years on earth and all I've learned about cars is that they're expensive, and of course how to change the oil, but that took all 41 years.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have to replace all the pads on my car and the rear rotors. Is there a difference between front rotors and rear rotors?

POST 3Original post

Hope these videos will help you. This is work being done on a 1999 996.. You may need an impact screw driver to remove the rotors. Good luck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC16WXBcE7Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--6HLa3Vays&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DpC0lXHP5o

POST 4Original post

I got a great deal on Hawk pads last week on Amazon. Got rotors and sensors from Vertex. You can re-use the shims if you remove them carefully. The sticky part was still tacky enough to work for me.

POST 5Original post

Great videos! Thank you very much! How did the wheel studs come out? What's the best technique for that?

POST 6Original post

Quotes source post: 9525256

What wheel studs? The ones bolting the wheels to the car?

POST 7Original post

Those are great videos. That guy taught me how to change my oil his video anyway. He does not bleed the breaks after changing rotors and pads. Total noob question, but is that because one does not need to bleed breaks after rotors and pads? 41 years on earth and all I've learned about cars is that they're expensive, and of course how to change the oil, but that took all 41 years. Matt

POST 8Original post

You don't need to bleed the brakes unless you open the system somewhere. With pads and rotors, brake lines and calipers stay attached so no need to bleed.

POST 9Original post

These are the same YouTube videos I studied before doing my brakes a couple of weeks ago, very good and informative videos. Yes you are correct that cars are expensive, and don't forget they are (usually) poor investment avenues as well. Next on your list is probably spark plugs and oil tubes if you have earlier MK I models, that will be a bit more difficult and involved when compared to changing brakes.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
