Default Replacing Pads and Rotors


Question..

Is pad/rotor replacement a Saturday afternoon job? I'm wondering because Cheryl went to the Honda dealer and was told that all four rotors are warped. Replacement parts and labor in Canada are ridiculously high so I was thinking I could pick up the parts from Jeff and install them down here. I just don't know how to.. Was hoping someone could help out one weekend.

Also, on a side note, are oem pads/rotors the best way to go? Aftermarket? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance

2 screws on each hold them on...you may need an impact to get them out.

Mocky this is pretty easy to do.....

take a couple of bolts of holding the calipers/pads in place.....then remove the 2 screw holding the rotors to the hub....and then reverse everything....(get a couple cans of brake cleaner) to clean everything off.....


P.S support the caliper with some wire (ex. support for spring of something close) dont let caliper hang on brake line!


good luck....pm me with any questions!
