i was told that the pads can be changed with out the calipers been
removed.
they just slid out once the pins are pulled but do not know how to push
the pistons back?
the case, minus a few cans!

"Discs" is my first guess as the poster did mention disc!
2nd clue was that he had to remove the caliper... *usually*, calipers don`t
require removing to put on the pads and the sensor..

The chain tensioner ratcheted out when you took the chain loose. You have to remove the tensioner
then put the chain and cam gear on. Take the tensioner and put the large hex section in a vise.
Unscrew the center of the hex....it is spring loaded. Remove the center piece and spring. Push the
plunger all the way out the bottom [if the spring has not already done this]. Screw the hex section
into the timing cover. Push the plunger in. Put the spring in. Screw the center plug back in. The
spring will ratchet the plunger out to the chain. Oil pressure will set it correctly.

Title: Fireball's Cool Designs of the Week!
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:41:40 +0000
Author: Fireball Tim
What is going on in this world? Ideas are merging, blending, taking shape, radically departing but staying the same. And that’s our world. Change.
Many people fear change. Maybe because it’s unknown. The question is, “What if you DID know the answer?” To everything? Would life be the same? Would you even be interested? Change is good. It keeps us on our toes, makes life adventurous, and forces us to have faith in things unseen.
Fortunately for you, you get to SEE this week’s designs. Some are wicked cool, some way not. But change is in the air, therefore, this week’s theme. Entitled?
CHANGE!…… DANGIT!
1. THE AUDI E- TRON ELECTRIC
Remember the Audi in “IRobot?” How could you not? It was in every DANG scene of the movie. Along with Will Smith’s beefy bod. (I had enough of that after the first scene… whatever) Well, Audi has taken their R8 and made it sweeter. Electric. And… Red. And red is good. Electric? Yea, that’s cool, but RED is cooler. Just think of RED things. Cherries. Megan Fox’s Lips. A stubbed toe. Ok,… maybe not the last one. But red is cool, dangit. (Check out the AutoDissection on the R8 here.)
