greetings,

I'm gonna attempt putting on new pads in the front. I think I can wing it. Are there any suggestions from people who have already done this?

Thanks

Pauley

Pretty straightforward brake work. Here's Pat's how-to on the rear pads, bit of a reference.

Make sure the springs are seated properly so they don't rub on the rotor.

Its an easy enough job. The only hint I can think of off hand other than the correct position of the springs is to use some anti-sieze lube on the reatining pins. A little goes a long way just don't over do it
