A video would be a great help. I have no mechanical experience, but I do see the sense in swapping out for the track. Thank you for doing this.

I recorded it a few hours ago. The job is truly easy. You need maybe 10 common tools to do the job. I will try to post it this week for you.

You need
a jack
jackstand
1/2 driver
21mm socket
mallet
long nose plier
big plier
cloth
torque wrench

Just curious what do you use the mallet for? What about the big pliers?

It definitely is an easy job, much easier after you do the first brake to get a hang of things. Worst part about it is that it is a dirty job (but someone's gotta do it!).

mallet to push the pins out, big plier to squeeze the pads and pistons back

I just push the pins out with the end of a phillips screw driver. I've found I can squeeze the pistons back just by hand, pushing on the pads before pulling them out. I'm a man's man.

as ultra magnus said to optimus prime, "but prime, i am just a soldier, i am not worthy"

i hate working on cars

Same here. If you don't want to get your hands dirty wear mechanics gloves or some cheap disposable Nitrile gloves.

:icon17:

Ah okay. I'm like the others, screw driver for the pins, and my hands for pulling out the pads.

Although I use gardening gloves instead of mechanics gloves, :rofl2:.

First time I pushed in on the pads against the pistons I was afraid I was going to break something, lol. I remember thinking something like "I couldn't possibly have to push this hard, do I?!".

While I can get the pistons in by hand, I had one pad change where I was cussing up a storm about a stuck piston. I make sure I have a big plier on hand before starting pad changes now.

Brake pads are like oil (opinions)..........
