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.

Note: The manual's description of rotor removal is vague. What to do is this. While the brake caliper is removed for pad replacement, you will need to remove the caliper mount. The mount is bolted on the rear of the spindle assembly with two bolts. Remove the bolts, remove the bracket, and then you will be able to remove the rotor.

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

Take care,

Joe
