Scroll down to Braking

Look for the Brake Pad & Rotor Swap

Yes, it is easy - getting the car in the air is the hardest part.

There is a lot of neat info to be gelaned from this site as well.

Good Luck !!

I followed the instructions from InstallUniversity. It took me about 45 minutes to do the front. (30 for the first wheel, 15 for the second)

The first time you do it, you'll be looking for stuff, but the second time, you'll know where everything is.


One word of advice .... have an extra wrench handy to slip on the back of the bolt holding the caliper in place (if you're changing the rotors) Otherwise, the bolt will just sit there and spin and never come loose. (learned that one the hard way ... why it took a little longer for the first one)
