Are casas amenable to us bringing our own parts and installing them? Where can i buy the permatex caliper lube?

They should, doc. It's no different from their brake cleaning service where the remove the pads. The difference is they will need the caliper tool to fit the new thicker rear pads. Permatex is available here...

Same thing with me, lubricant is not included. Good thing I have a Permatex that I ordered before, courtesy of course by *travajante.

We found that some creative wedging with a box wrench can do wonders with pushing those pistons back ;)

And they had the gall to charge Php1500 for replacing each side. (Php6000 labor for the whole replacement)

It's got a screw type piston, doc. Turn clockwise to push it in. Easier w/ the tool or an experienced shop can do this trick w/o 1....
