Hi,

In all honesty, it isn't too hard of a job. If you take your time and follow the directions, you should be fine.

As far as brake pads, 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 through the procedure.

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

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

Take care,

Joe
