It is sooooooooo much easier than on the ChromeHead! ... 1 electrical connector on he left, a quick disconnect for the fuel on the right and of it goes!
I really have no idea what the actual torque is ... I usually tighten mine down to where I can start feeling 'drag' ... but I have not had to do anything on the R18 in that direction ... I figure, take that top nut off (or at least loosen it up) and see if you can turn the one right underneath...
Worked on my FE as well ... but something had to be turn on in the configuration menu ... haven't found that part yet in my 911 menu .. the dealer did that for me ... when they were still around :LOL:
Try a guitar pick or something like that, and try sticking it under the edge in a few places, they should pop off then ... it is the rubber behind the roundel that may be sticking to it .. mine were a little stuck as well when I switched from chrome to copper ...
If you all meet up ... please post pics! There are suppose to be 4 more R18s in a 100 mile circle from me, it would be nice to see a few of 'em gathered .. I have yet to see one 'round here ... sigh
I somewhat doubt that .. the squeal has always been there and seems to settle down as the pads age ... but yes, I clean the pin off real well and then put a really thin coat of molly grease on if ... not sure why I forgot to mention that ... maybe because it is something I just do ;)
A quick update ... break action on these EBC pads is good ... the tradgedy is they squeal as badly as my OEM pads did .. the OEM pads quieted down after a few 1000 miles ... I hope these do too ... sigh ... I will try a different brand next time.
