I used to do brakes on my Jeep, and I wouldn't have to drain the system or anything, I'd just compress the cylinders, install new pads (machine rotors if necessary)...and off I went. Is it any different on the VR4?
Thanks for all the help/info guys.

Jeremy had a good write up on the 316 site...it is pretty straight forward. I've owned Jeeps and it is pretty much the same thing. You'll need a "C" -clamp to push the piston in, as well as the anti-squeal like-a-pig compound because our brakes need it.
If you are just swaping rotors and pads it should take no more than an hour. Speedbleeders and new brake lines COULD take a while depending on how stuck the lines are. Mopar Jeff had to use a blow torch (the Chicago way) on one of my lines. Also, bleeding them takes a while.
Let me know if you need a hand. If you need help Sunday between 10 am (after Church...I'm on God's shit list) and before 4 pm, let me know, I'll help. Just did my brakes a couple of months ago.
