Hey guys,

Moved to the area not too long ago (Fresno, Shaw and Valentine). I am looking to change my brake pads this weekend, but I have no tools or garage to do it in (plus I've never done it myself before) and I don't feel like getting buttsexed by the dealer for labor (I have the pads). Is there anyone who would be willing to help me out Sunday morning(the 24th)? I would be willing to drive to your place and whatever else you need.

Thanks!!!!

my place is not really ideal, plus i have no experience with changing brake pads... maybe others can chime in.

I've done it on my past vechiles, but not on the S. Unless something is different, then I probably could do it. Only thing, I'm out of town for sunday.....

I used to live near Shaw and Valentine. I would see a blk ap1 around sometimes, I wonder if it was you. I change all my brake pads about a year ago, its pretty easy to do, you would have to go rent the correct tool from Kragen to do the rear. I would help but I'm pretty busy this weekend.

Thats ok, if anyone is available next weekend it would be even better...I'll let you guys know and I'll order the pads in the meantime...thanks for the input guys!!! Yms2k I have ricks badges and red calipers, if that was me you saw

Here is a tip, the rear calipers DO NOT PUSH IN!!! You have to screw them back in to get the new pads in. Don't ask me how I know.

The fronts are pretty straight forward.

i had pep boys do mine last week. they charged me $220 for resurfacing the rotors and brake pads. not bad i guess...

No, not bad at all. The only reason I was in a rush is that I was going to go to LA next weekend and I didn't want to drive those hills with bad brakes, but the trip go tpushed back a few weeks so now I have more time to take.
