Does anybody know how easy it is to install new brake rotors and pads on your own? I was just curious as to whether its a pretty straightfoward DIY job, or if you needed any expensive tools and training to do it.

The Chiltons and Haynes manuals for our cars suck, but it will help a little.
Brakes are the next easiest thing to oil/spark plugs/plug wires. My first time took about 30 minutes per wheel, now I can do it in 10-15(on the front, drums still take 30-45 each). Just make sure you use quality parts and double check that all bolts are tightened back properly. You don't want to slam on the brakes at 50+ only to have the caliper come loose. |
