Changing the breaks

How hard is it? I'm curious. My Bronco needs new brakes really bad and I was considering doing them tomorrow, I figured it wouldn't be too hard to replace the pads and I assume I can get them from any parts store like NAPA.
Thanks

If you do it yourself, take the rotors and have them turned somewhere. Putting new pads on worn rotors isn't even worth the effort.

Changing the breaks

Brakes are a pieve of cake. Just make sure you lay all the parts out in the order they go back in to avoid confusion. Should not take more than an hour or so. At least for me it takes that.
Hardest part is getting the spring out/in of place and waiting for the rotors to be turned.

Good luck. Pick up a manual if you do not already have one. It will show you the parts assembled for reference.

just be sure you only take apart one side at a time so you can reference the other wheel if you get confused as to how it all goes back together....
