Hi,

Front brake pads and rotors really aren't too hard to do. If you do it yourself, make sure to purchase lifetime parts so you'll never have to pay for the parts again.

You can expect brake pads to last approximately 25,000 miles. However, that can change based on terrain and driving habits.

To start, here is a link that shows in general how it's done. You can use this as a guide:

Here are the directions specific to your vehicle. The pics below correlate with the directions.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens.
