after YOUTUBING

Since not all cars nor its brake systems are the same, what is the year, make and model of your car?
I've done plenty of brake jobs for various vehicles over the years...so it depends on the year, make and model...

it's as easy as pie.
i'll do it for a 5 gallon of smelt plus a bottle of 12 years macallan.

I’ve never done it myself but I have assisted someone. It doesn’t seem hard but I wouldn’t do it myself.
Sounds like you need to get it done quick before you have bigger issue.

He's already in hot water if it's been 10 years and there are scratching sounds. lol

Plus the rotors. Those are inside next to the pads.

Super easy. Just 4 bolts each side. 15 min job per side.

One has to think about raising the axles, buying the right fits, removing screws, etc., too.

Bro, brakes are easy to diy. YouTube is probably by far your most trusted source of information nowadays for anything and everything. It beats the advice from trolls like us all. You don't need a whole lot of tools. You will need a socket, rachet, & wrench set however. Harbor Freight sells them for cheap. When it comes to jacks, jack stands, and wheel chocks, you can use your vehicle's own jack. Just support the weight of your vehicle with the tires in case your jack fails or tips over because it is not on level ground. Other than that be safe and save yourself some money. That brake job will end up costing you 1/5th to 2/5 of what they are charging. I personally recommend that you invest in all the right tools which will cost a lot and take up space in your home but it will pay off in the end. Also, you have to have a lot of family and friends who can help too. Just borrow their tools until you can get your own. I'm sure they are willing to help a brother out.

damn
it was hard
that youtube guy make it look so easy

That's why I asked for the "year, make, and model" so I can show you the easy way but you don't even know what year and model car you drive so you only have yourself to blame..for going through "hard"..
The difficulty level can vary from car model to car model and brake system to brake system especially for the "knowledge is non existence" ones..Therefor e, it's key for those that have the knowledge to know the year, make and model to accurately explain the easy way... O0

Very easy brother. Just follow the youtube video from ChrisFix on youtube. Takes about 2-3 hours solo job for a noob like me.
parts:
2 fronts pads,
2 back pads,
4 rotors
tools:
jack
2 jack stands
c-clamp
basic tools you get in craftsman set
breaker bar
wire brush
mallet
consumable
pb blaster
wd40
thread locker
anti-cease - cooper one
brake cleaner
Parts is about $260
consumable is about $25.
$600 wounds about right if you have someone do it. They charge 3 hours to do brakes at $125 plus $250 in super cheap parts.

that's bad.

if your car shutters/shakes/vibrates when braking, most likely your rotors are warp and will need to be replaced. getting them turned is another option but not really worth it considering, it's about 3/4 the price of a pair of new rotors..haha
just saying, because the look on those brake pads..lols hopefully your rotors did the beating and not your brake pads. aha
dude
my wheel rims FUSE with the rotor
i don't even know it can do that
i had to drop some SWEET CHIN MUSIC on it to make it come off
beat the shyt out of it

that's bad.
like i say
not a car guy
haven't had a tire change/rotation in 10 years
all them fluid are still the same from the last owner
i just change OIL every year, add coolant and wiperfluid
this OLD GIRL still running strong too
-
i'm just a basic knowledge car guy haha but i think i know what you talking about...that happens a lot to the older cars when the wheels were made of lesser quality metals, or just overall poorly designed..it was common for the older hondas..haha .it's just all the gunk and grime that gets trapped or build up between the wheels and rotor's hub surface. next time apply some all purpose grease on the surface before intalling back the wheels. and make sure the wheels' nuts are properly torque to specs. your car will run smoother and quicker..some people think it's just a placebo effect, but i think it's real...haha
i just use the torque and jack that comes with the car
but man, that tire rim, IT IS FUSE in there with rotor or something
cuz.....
i did some mad SHAWN MICHEAL SWEET CHIN MUSIC to get it off
serious, no jokes

For a guy that talk smack about cars... don't know how to change brake? :2funny: :2funny:
Seriously though, it's one of the easiest... next to oil change.

I bought Winchester's premium rotor and pad set, but they warped on a long descent in the Rockies. I honestly wondered if the clerk switched them on me. Just put on a top set from O'Reilly that was cheaper, and I double-checked all the numbers to make sure they're right. The boxes were even sealed this time, which is a good sign. Fingers crossed this set holds up, I'd never had a warped rotor before this.
