I then noticed the front brakes started grinding

Hi,

Replacing front brake pads and rotors isn't too hard of a job. When you do it yourself, make sure to get lifetime replacement parts so you never have to pay for them again.

As far as front brake pads, you can expect them to last approximately 25,000 miles. However, that can change based on terrain and driving habits.

To get you started, here is a link that shows how in general the procedure is done. This is an excellent guide that you can use to help as you read through the directions specific to your vehicle:

If you look at the attachments below, I included the directions and pics specific to your vehicle for front brake pad and rotor replacement.

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

Take care,

Joe
