whats up guys... i have to replace my front pads and rotors and i was wondering how hard or easy this project is without having ever done break work... seems easy but i have said that on other projects that have been a lot harder than expected... so if anyone could clue me in ... thanks

 

really the only thing that is hard at all is getting the caliper with new pads to go back on the rotor the right way. Make sure that you have a C-Clamp handy to push the piston back in.

Make sure that the rotor and everything is clean.

 

cool thanks...

 

yep, super easy job. Probably one step up from an oil change. Hmmm, the bolts on your calipers should be 15mm. (working from memory here. Feel free to correct me if I got that wrong.) 2 of them per caliper. Loosen em up, and they'll pull out. Carefully pry up the caliper. You might need a screwdriver or something to get them started. The pads should pop right out.
Gently tap the rotor a few times with a rubber mallet or something and it should come right off. You may need to break off the little locking tab that they put on there from the factory. No big deal there though. You'll see it on one of the treads of the bolts. Put the new caliper on, slowly depress the piston on the caliper with a C clamp, put your new pads in, replace the calipers and put the bolts back in. There you go. New brakes and rotors. No Midas required. I think that's about it.
