I am taking my in. Dealer charging 285 for pad and rotor plus I get a loaner car to drive around. Wish I was more handy...
What you need is a friend to help you. Watch him do your pads and you will realize that you don't need to be handy to change brakes. This is so easy "a cave man can do it". ;)
Jack the car up, take the wheel off, remove one bolt, pivot the caliper out. Take out old pads, insert new pads. Reverse the rest of the process.
Grumpa,
I hear ya but somethings are better left to the pros. Shame to say I am not that handy and did not want to end up having to pay for a tow truck and someone to fix my problem. Did not inherit the handy genes... :D :D
