Thanks for all your help guys...bleed the lines and that fixed the problem...and the bolts are good and tight.

Re: Just replace all rotors and pads

i've done brake jobs on several other cars before too... never had a bolt come loose until my camaro.. then i do a search on ls1tech.com and find out that it is somewhat common.

Re: Just replace all rotors and pads

in my school i am in an automotive texh prep thing, and our teacher is a full out ASE qualified mechanic. He makes us follow all of the precautions and makes us do everything the right way, even if it isnt the fastest way.
He said nothing about using loctite on the bolts... but made sure i used either silicon spray to lube up the parts(i forget, but i think it was silicon spray)
as long as you torque to specs and amke sure everything is on right.. you wil be fine...


and yeah.. bleeding the breaks is a must.. look up the correct procedure on how to do it and you wil be fine, simply pooring in more fluid does not correct the problum

Re: Just replace all rotors and pads

I can't see how yu would need to bleed the brakes if all you did was rotors and pads. None the less I would do it to get it out of the way.
