Replace front brake pads and rotors |
Album
It is time to replace the front pads, and I lean toward replacing the rotors at the same time these days (for a few reasons) so here we are. I also replaced the brake pad wear sensor that had tripped, and the rotor retaining bolts as well.
I was ordering from WorldPac through my buddy's shop again, and this time it was easy to get OEM stuff since I know Zimmerman is the OEM for the rotors and Textar is the OEM for the pads.
You'll see by the picture of the old pads that I really like to get my full use of them. I'd normally run them quite a bit longer, but with Katie driving I played it a bit safe.
I also took this opportunity to do a bit more of a deep cleaning on the front wheels. Hopefully these hideous things won't be on for much longer.
