i asked a question about a week ago about my breaks squeeking and it seems that i just need to change the pads... talked to a coworker and he insisted i can do the job myself... im a pretty smart guy and im sure i can figure it out, but is there anything not intuitive i need to do? anyone got a step by step process? so far as i can tell its just:
raise car
take off tire
take off caliper with some tool that i need to buy (not that expensive right?)
change the pad
sand down the rotor a little to reduce the chance of it squeeking
put the caliper back on
put the tire back on
am i missing anything?
im doing it all myself because i dont want to spend much money on the car, it just needs to last me through the winter...

so it looks like i need to change the rotors as well... the rotors just slide on and off right?

Sounds like you covered most of it but I don't think you sand the rotor usually brake pads come with a thing of anti squeal. I don't remember the name but it stops the squeal. Good luck.

this has occurred to me -some fashions use an identical pad however the clips or springs are different-take them back to the areas keep alongside with one in all your previous pads-theyll restoration ya precise up-desire this facilitates-each and every so often they in basic terms mixture the containers up-theyll provide ya the suited suited ones
