REQUEST:Changing front and rear brake pads on stock akebono

m4a1mustang

I have done valve spring installs but I have never, ever worked on brakes. For some stupid reason they scare the crap out of me.

I guess it's because I know that if my engine blows I can still stop.

Brakes are pretty simple and logical hydraulic systems, so doing simple work like replacing pads, lines, bleeding etc. isn't a big deal as long as you check you work to make sure there are no leaks. As long as you stay away from the tricky stuff like ABS systems you'll stay out of trouble. Complete brake failures are pretty rare, you would have to screw something up really really badly. A seized engine on the other hand could send you catapulting into the nearest tree

Disc brakes are a piece of cake. Drum brakes suck a$$
