Today Brandon and I were working on my car, What we did to my car was we replaced the front rotors and outer tie rods.

To do this on my car which is a 93 Mitsubishi lancer lift back, We first had to remove the front tyres.
Then we removed the calipers, and mounting brackets, to do this we had to remove the caliper bolts and mounting bolts which are located just behind the caliper ( see photo ).



We then had to detach the suspension, lower control arm and outer tie rod, this just involved undoing two bolts from the suspension, one bolt from the lower control arm, and one bolt from the outer tie rod. (see photo)


Once that was done we just had to undo the axle nut and we had the complete hub out and we then had to transfer the old parts onto the new parts such as the ball bearing and part of the hub.

When we finished transferring the parts over, we had to re install it which we basically just fastened everything we removed from it such as lower control arm suspension and outer tie rod, which we replaced, when replacing tie rods you want to make sure you count the rotations when undoing them that when you put new ones on you wont need a major wheel alignment.

Before taking the car off the hoist I pumped the brakes to make sure they were working, ( if you dont do this you could risk backing off or driving off and not have any stopping power.
