plenty of wear left on my front pads at 55K! I think anyways. Looking at the new pads, they taper so that the older the pads get, the more surface contacts the rotor.
on my old pads, there is about 1/4 inch of pad left, but no taper left.
anyways I was having a hard time getting the pad off, in fact i gave up on it. once the caliper is rotated up, should the pad slide out? or do you take the clips off first? i could get it to slide almost out before it got stuck.
i just did not want to break anything. any advice?
