I just finished overhauling the rear brakes on the bimmer and that has taught me my best lesson in patience thus far. The rotors are held on by the worst idea I have ever seen on a car, a 5mm hex bolt that is rusted in place from 26 years of use. I didn't have the proper tools to get one out and I wound up rounding it smooth. Took me two days to get it out like that. I stopped and got the propper tools, applied some heat, and the other side came right out. That's just the rotors! I won't even go into getting the rusted pistons out of the calipers. All in all it took me about two weeks to get it done but I'm confident I did everything right because I took a step back and did it right.
