Hi

I'm a bit of a do it yourselfer. I have jacks and do my own oil/filter. Even did the power window once. Never again lol.

But I'd like to try my front brakes. Will I need to grind the rotors too? Do I need to bleed the brakes.

Tips appreciated

THANKS

for the brake pads , its just 2 bolts holding the caliper
check the rotor it should have a flat surface , if it's wavy i would get it resurfaced
no need to bleed the brakes, have a c clamp to compress the pistons on the caliper because the new pads are thicker than the worn out ones...
good luck

Thanks..do you recommend semi matallic pads or ceramic?

Semi metallic are noisier, produce more dust and wear faster, but they perform better IMO. I've found ceramic to take heat better but don't perform as well cold.
