Hi,

Replacing front brakes and rotors really isn't too hard. Under normal conditions, you can expect them to last approximately 25,000 miles. However, that can 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 to help guide you in the process.

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

Once the brake caliper is removed, you will need to remove the caliper mount to access the rotor. If you look at the last pic below, I highlighted the two bolts that retain the mount. Remove those bolts, remove the mount, and then remove and replace the rotor.


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

Take care,

Joe
