well, i am no mechanic but i love cars and working on them. w/e stuff i can do at home i will try to do it, more to just do something and have fun rather then trying to save money. anyways, my brakes need changing and i was wondering how hard it is to change my brake pads? front/rear or both. do i have to 'bleed' the brakes? what do i need, simple tools? how long will it take? where do i get them, mastro or auto store? idk thats why im asking. should i just go somewhere? but that seems no fun, cause i have a friend who has done his brakes and well he isnt any smarter when it comes to cars lol

any help is appreciated.

you dont have to bleed the brakes to change pads. shouldnt hard, never done it on the 2pot calipers, but cant be that hard.

very easy, 2 bolts and the pads come out.......replace......tighten the 2 bolts back on.

You need a C-clamp.

true, clamp the piston to allow room for pads

don't you need to resurface the rotors?
