Breaks on a bus, breaks on a car, breaks to make you a superstar.

Your garage?

I did a brake job (pads / rotors) on my wife's IS250 tonight. Two hours and a 4 pack of tallboys. No biggie.

I hear it's easy to do. I just buy them and pay someone to install them. If I did them it would turn into a whole weekend ordeal.

I spent two days taking off the starter/alternator and replacing them in my Nissan.

Yeah I might do it myself

Yeah you just need a jack and socket set to do it. A c-clamp may be needed depending on the vehicle and if your brakes want to be stubbern. If the rotors are trashed you can have them turned, but for not much extra just order a new set.

Thanks, its the wife's Eclipse with pads on all 4 tires, so it should not be too hard to do

No mames guey. You know you can get them done in the grove for 24.99

Its who and where. Some are great. Some are evil.

Tell her to do them herself? It's not rocket science.

It should only take a couple of hours tops. The good thing about most imports is that you don't have to deal with the wheel bearings when replacing the rotors if they need to be replaced.

I won't lie. I have replaced pads and shoes many times without turning the drums & rotors if they were not all grooved deeply or too thin. Hardest part with rear pads are the ones that you have to screw in the piston. Learned the hard way on a 280z once. Pretty sure an Eclipse is like that. Also, there are all kinds of loaner tools at AZ or O'Rielly's to make life easier.
