Need Help on Replacing Brakes!!!!

[chadr02]

Guys, my brakes are making a grinding noise sometimes when you stop. I took the the expedition to the Firestong place because the tires needed rotating and the guy told me I was 90% wore all the way around. I bought the truck used with 23k on it and it now has 52k. Is this something I can replace and are there any writeups on how to replace the pads. I was quoted over 400 from the dealer and I have found another place that will put NAPA cermic on the from and rear for like 250.00 installed. Thanks!!!!!!

brakes are eazy to do you can do it yourself i mean that is if you have rear disc i mean but part should only cost you 100 if you are lucky i mean basic hand tools will do the job and should only take 3 hours at the most

yeah you might need rotors and have fun if you try to do it yourself. because if it is like a f-150 they are a pain to get the fonrt rotors off

thanks, the rotors were fine and even the back had plenty padding left per the place I took it. They put semi-ceramic on it and inspected it for 151.00. I was happy. There is a big difference in the brakes now. I will probably replace the rear ones myself. Thanks for the help

When I just took mine in today it cost $414 without new rotors. I did have the premium ceramic brakes put in though.
