it might be a dumb question but is there anything different apart from freezing my ass outside?
I don't have a garage and I don't know someone with one..and I don't wanna pay 500$ + for this stupid easy job

is there anything different?

e: I'm changing my dics and pads ... the calipers should be fine

the brakes need to be adjusted 1/10th of a inch out of what you would normally put them at due to going from cold to hot


Or you could heat up the brakes and adjust them normally, this way is a lot harder imo

It took me 3 hours and a half

The rear discs were stuck as hell

My hand were not cold at all because i was moving non stop


But

My feet and legs are wet...cold...frozen


All in all..it was worth it

You may experience a little shrinkage of the dics, cold does that
