Lightbulb Re: Brake pad and rotor replacement on H1

I've been on that site, how did I miss that?
Thanks so much Mr Miyagi, I mean Ssg Harkness.
I purchased/rented a tool kit from Kragen because I helped a friend yesterday do her brakes. She had the same kind of caliper, but with a different piston. The kit at Kragen had every format EXEPT for hummer.
Thanks again for all the extremely valuable information. I have completed all of the maintenance items so it isn't leaking anymore. The rusty coolant has been thoroughly flushed and replaced with new fluid. I just need to do brakes and trans filter. Based on the lack of maintenance this obviously had, I should change fluid in the transfer case and diffs as well.
BTW Dealer told me I also needed to change the rotors. Something about heat cracks. But when I checked, they looked fine. In fact no pulsations when braking and no scoreing, well very very minor. Rotors are 1 mm over min tolerance, but I noticed the new ones were only 2 mm over tolerance. I plan on using the rotors and just changing the pads. What do you think? One more pad set before rotor change?
Thank you,
Dr. Don Palmer
