Has anyone taken on the challenge of changing thier own brake pads? If so any step by step instructions/pics out there.
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance
My 06 XK seems to be ready for some new pads. For a few months, I did realize a slight vibration going on... but now, there's a faint squeak popping up when the brakes are applied. I take it ...times up.
My first debate is either going OEM or aftermarket. I'm considering getting some Wagner ThermoQueit Ceramics for both front/rear. Total cost will be about $130 for the whole set. Looked over some online OEM/Jeep sites, and the pads alone are likely to total at $250 though .
Along with that, I'll have to also consider whether turning my current rotors, or buying a whole set of new ones. Last, will be bleeding the brake lines.
I had a few questions though...:
1. What brand of brake pads did you replace yours with?
2. Did you replace or turn your current rotors?
3. Mileage before you replaced your pads
4. Are the rotors easily accessible once you remove the brake caliper assembly (is it pressed and/or screwed in?) ?
Please assist when you can....
