Hi,

Replacing front brake pads and rotors really isn't too hard. Also, if you purchase lifetime parts, you'll never have to pay for them again.

In most cases, you can expect front brake pads to last approximately 25,000 miles. However, that will change based on driving habits and terrain.

To get you started, here is a link that shows in general how it is done. You can use this as a guide.

If you look at the pics below, they include the directions and pictures specific to your vehicle.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
