Varies by application, but removal of calipers is required. Having a caliper piston compressing tool is very helpful. Remove some fluid from your brake fluid reservoir to prevent overflowing. Fresh fluid and flush is recommended.

Are they loud, or do they produce noise?
Red Stuff pads are very quie

I wonder if anyone does disk resurfacing any more?

I had all but decided on EBC red stuff for the Cobra brake conversion. Great braking, low dust, whats not to like?
Didn't like the up to 1000 mile bedding process, thats a loong time for me.
The late model crowd seem to like Hawk pads, I found a great price on them that Summit priced matched. They are currently getting baby sat at Sal's place, along with my Myrtle Beach Bash shirt (thanks Mike). I still want to pick them up in person.
With the Wuflu thing, I can't really justify the cost of wheels and tyres for the swap, have everything else. So no rush.
First international flight will be to the east coast though
