brakes are obviously important for safety. I would have someone do it with u the first time. Its not something u should try out on your own even with step by step directions.

yeah. Practice on a Civic or something. $400 spent at a shop is better than spending $400 on fixing your own mistakes.

Look it up and save the coin.

I bought the factory pads and paid the brake/suspension/aligment shop I always use $150 to do the job. He had to turn the rotors three times since the previous owner had race pads on the car and tracked it quite a bit.

Don't bother replacing your pads if you aren't replacing the rotors or at least getting them turned.

DIY!!!!

Buy the pads..

Either buy the tools or borrow them.

Put your car on jackstands and take the rotors to a shop to have them all turned if they need it.

It is NOT a difficult job.

You can DO it!

I dont know how you feel about doing this. But if you walk around the bay doors of a dealership, and see a mechanic working on a car. Ask him if he wants to do a brake job at his garage at home. Odds are he will gladly want the cash under the table... and WONT be chargeing $65+ an hour.

Also avoids waiting for an appointment!!

Changing the pads is easier than an oil change, and that is really easy. Get a pad spreader and a bleed kit and for a couple of hours you can do it the first time. Get a knucklehead friend to show you if you want. I would get some antisieze for the screw, but that is about it.
