POWER SLOT BRAKE ROTORS:
Excessive heat can cause resins in your brake pad to vaporize or
"outgas." As the brake pad wears, the used friction material
turns into a fine dust. This boundary layer of heat, gas and dust
builds up between the pad and rotor surfaces and inhibits performance.
Here's where Power Slot's slotted brake rotors make a big difference.
Power Slot's exclusive Vac-U-Slots are machined into the rotor and
help evacuate gasses and dust, shed heat, and keep the brake pad
surface clean. And in wet, raining conditions, Power Slot's Vac-U-Slot
helps push water off the braking surface for better stopping power.
The Vac-U-Slot also serves as a visual wear indicator. The slot
is machined to the rotor's minimum thickness where it crosses the
outside edge. If you cannot see the slot along the outside edge,
the rotor has worn down to its discard depth.

Installation instructions for front slotted rotors and front brake pads
for 92-96 Honda Prelude Si
Warning!: The
Power Slot Rotors come with a piece of paper that gives you advice
on how to properly break in your rotors and pads. Failure to follow this
break in procedure with result in improper performance of your brake pads
and rotors and possible damage to them. Please be sure to carefully follow
the break in instructions as given by power slot!!!
Kit comes with brief advice and instruction to install rotors and the
rotors itself and brake pads itself.
Tools:
- Ratchet
- 14mm socket for the brake caliper bolts
- 17mm socket for the brake caliper bracket bolts
- Phillips head screwdriver (to take off the screws holding in the brake
rotors if applicable)
- Brake caliper tool or a c-clamp and a piece of wood (just to put the
piston in the caliper back in so you have more space to fit the caliper
over the new brake pads)
- Latex gloves (to keep your hands clean)
- Floor jack (or however to prefer to lift your car)
- Jack stands (safety first)
- Tire iron (or however you take off your lug nuts)

To start things off, lift the front of the car or the whole car with
jacks and support with jack stands, and remember to break the lug nuts
loose off the rims before lifting the car unless you are able to do it
with power tools. Then beginning with whatever side you want to start
off with, undo the two 14mm bolts that hold the caliper to the bracket
and lift the caliper off the bracket. To make things easier and so you
don't put stress on the brake lines or break the brake lines, hang the
caliper off something in the area like the upper a-arm with a couple of
heavy duty zip ties or wires. Then remove the two screws holding in the
brake rotor if there are any.
|
| Take off the brake pads and set those aside or throw them away if they
are worn away. Then take off the two 17mm bolts holding in the brake caliper
bracket and take off the brake caliper bracket and set it aside. Then pull
off the old rotor and replace it with the new one, keeping in mind which
side goes where because in the case of these rotors, it DOES matter. |
| |
|
|
| Then use the two screws that held in the stock brake rotor and screw them
into the same holes on the new rotor. Then place the brake caliper bracket
back on and put the two 17mm bolts that hold it in and tighten down. Next,
put the AEM brake pads into
the bracket and just lay them in place. Then take the brake caliper off
the zip tie or however you supported it and push the piston inside the caliper
back in using the special tool that can be bought at any auto parts store
or a c-clamp and a piece of wood over the piston, I just find the tool designed
for that easier to use. Then place the brake caliper over the bracket and
the brake pads and position it into place on the bracket with the two 14mm
brake caliper bolts and tighten down. The picture below shows what it should
look like before you put your rims back on. |
|
Put the rim back on and tighten the lug nuts down. Repeat the process
for the other side on the front. Then installation for the brake rotors
and pads is complete.
