Anything to be aware of when doing this? Besides the center caps. Speaking of center caps, is there a 'safe' way to get them off without damaging them? Only 24000 miles, so will most likely just do the fronts. |

You can use a screwdriver wrapped in a rag, but do NOT twist it. You can also use half of a clothes pin, the type with a spring in the middle of it. Separate the two side and use it to pop off the center cap. When putting the center cap back on, use some liquid soap on the 5 points so it slides a little easier. AFTER you break it, send it to Dick Linneman to get it fixed properly. |

blue 4 2,,,You don't want to do anything to the rears,,leave them alone. Getting the center caps 'off' is the easy part. Use a plastic trim stick or half of a wooden clothes pin to remove by popping out where the opening is located on the cap. Putting them back on, w/o breaking, is sometimes the challenge. Put some liquid dish soap on the inner tabs first,,line up correctly, and pop them back on with the palm of your hand. If you break them,,,do a search by Ed Monahan on center caps. |

Nope, not here. I installed Raybestos up front when I bought the car a little over 30 months ago 15K miles and still stopping clean. |

Nope, I know Marty and someone else said to watch the inside of the rear rotors pretty closely. I have almost 50,000 miles on the Candy and ought to check them out I guess. |

http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/002773.html Waynew has had them on his car since 2006 without issue that I am aware of. He posted another time in about 2008 or so stating no issues yet. The above link was all I found. |
