I'm at it again. Today's project was front brake pads, rotors and a caliper.
Remember, safety first. Chock your wheels, use jack stands, eye protection, hand protection and if you're not sure what your doing, STOP! Also, do not use compressed air to blow off brake components. Airborne brake dust is very very very bad for you.
Vehicle: 2000 Ford Expedition, 4x4 Eddie Bauer 118k miles
To start:
And this is what I found:
I always replace the rotors. New rotors were $25 a piece from Rock Auto. I would have paid more to have them turned plus the gas for the 40 mile round trip to town. From my other vehicles, I've found today's rotors don't have a lot of meat to begin with and typically won't be eligible for turning anyway.
