CT200h - Engine Cooling System & Brake System Overhaul.

I've been meaning to do the engine cooling system but didn't get around to it. Well time to get rid of more parts that I have been accumulating. Scheduled time with Matt at Import Motor Werks and added a brake system overhaul because last time Matt stated that my brake pads were getting low. Anywhoo on to the updates.

Brake Calipers I had rebuilt earlier but if you want part numbers for those:

    Front Disc Brake Caliper RH - OEM - 47730-47060

    Front Disc Brake Caliper LH - OEM - 47750-47060

    Rear Disc Brake Caliper RH - OEM - 47830-12240

    Rear Disc Brake Caliper LH - OEM - 47850-12240

Since the radiator had to be swapped out as well the easiest way was to discharge the freon, drain the coolant from the radiator and from the inverter, disconnect the condenser, remove the upper radiator support, upper and lower radiator hoses along with the inverter hoses and pull the whole cradle that contains the radiator, condenser and inverter cooler.   

With the cradle out of the way there was easy access to the inverter pump. Remove the air box and there was easy access to the thermostat and water pump. Replaced all the parts and assembly in the reverse order. Filled up the coolant reservoirs and bled the system.

All the old engine coolant parts:

Onto the hub and brakes. 

Undid the calipers, removed the rotors and wow the hubs were crusty!! Anyway got the hubs out smoothed out the surfaces and new hubs went on. Didn't get a chance to clean out the dust shields because of time constraints. 

New rotors, calipers and spacers went back on, torqued the spacers, put on the hub centric rings and that was done. Also did a full brake fluid flush.

All the old parts:

How everything looks with the wheels on and bedding in the brakes. The bedding in process took off all the black coating and this is how it looks.

So far so good, brakes work, happy that I didn't mess that up. Happy with how everything turned out.
