Is it easy to change brake pads?

How much does it typically cost to have it done? It's $40 for all 4 at auto zone. Is it simple or is there a trick to it so i should have it done professionally?

Everything is easy to do if you know how to do it and with the right tools my friend.



if you are changing the pads you should change the disks too as if they are left they might get warped and the steering wheel will shake when u use the breaks. i always do my breaks. it's 13 socket or an allan key that is used but once you loosen the bolts push the pistons back before you take the callipers off. it will take a while but take your time as it's your first time. once you have the callipers all the way back take the pads off and push the break pedal till the pistons come right out to loosen them off. then lubricate the bolts that are holding the callipers but pulling them out and put them back in again.



I can write all day about all the problems you can encounter but you cross them bridges only if it comes to it...



Good luck and I hope this helps...

You probably only need to change the front...

Very easy..No tricks...

Once you have done it the first time, you should

be able to do a front disc brake change in about

20 / 30 minutes easily..
It's very simple. Even a drunken monkey with no knowledge of Kung-fu could do it.

Just look at this video and follow:
