Tools?

All you need is a pair of plyers, and a pair of channel locks (or your plyers could work if they are big enough).

These are the easiest breaks ever to swap pads on (and I've done just about every model Nissan out there).

As far as the B-Force pads go. I haven't cleaned the car yet (about to go out and do it right now), so not sure about the dust yet. Pads bite really well, and I too have heard noise occasionally, but only when they are cold. Since it's so easy to do, I may take them apart, and clean them up real good since I didn't do that originally. Perhaps that may help cut and noise out.

 

You guys aren't resurfacing rotors when just changing pads?

 

do you have to? is it necessary? what will resurfacing the rotors do?

 

Not everytime. I will resurface every other time I swap the pads.

 

I would also want to include Endless SSS for track/street and SSM for less brake dust. It is a little bit more expensive than Project MU but all I can say is its worth every penny and you won't be disappointed. I have the SSS on my car and tracked it without any Fading issues.

You take them to a brake shop and they mill the rotors down a MM or 2 to provide a flat, fresh, clean surface. When you don't mill them down you have uneven wear spots from your old pads that will tear up your new pads quicker.

That is what I understand anyway...maybe someone else can speak further on it.
