I was about to order pads and rotor

Hi,

Replacing brakes and rotors isn't too hard of a job. You can expect them to last approximately 25,000 miles, but that is based on driving habits and terrain.

First, here is a link that explains in general how it's done. You can use this link as a guide.

NOTE:
If the brake pads have a protective paper on the rear face of the brake pad plate, it must be removed before pad installation.

Place the brake pads (4, 5) in the abutment shims (3) clipped into the disc brake caliper adapter bracket (2) as shown. Place the pad with the wear indicator (if equipped) attached on the inboard side (2).
Completely retract the caliper piston back into the bore of the caliper.

CAUTION:
Use care when installing the caliper (4) onto the adapter bracket (1) to avoid damaging the boots.

Install the disc brake caliper over the brake pads on the brake caliper adapter bracket.

CAUTION:
When removing or installing a caliper guide pin bolt, it is necessary to hold the guide pin stationary while turning the bolt. Hold the guide pin stationary using a wrench placed upon the pin's hex-shaped head.

Align the caliper guide pin bolt holes with the adapter bracket. Install the upper (2) and lower (3) caliper guide pin bolts. Tighten the guide pin bolts to 35 NÂ m (26 ft. lbs.).

Install tire and wheel assembly (1) (Refer to 22 - Tires and Wheels - Installation) . Install and tighten wheel mounting nuts (3) to 135 NÂ m (100 ft. lbs.).
Lower the vehicle.
Pump the brake pedal several times before moving the vehicle to set the pads to the brake rotor.
Check and adjust the brake fluid level in the reservoir as necessary.
Road test the vehicle and make several stops to wear off any foreign material on the brakes and to seat the brake pads.
