DIY Brake Pad and Rotor change
Has anyone done a front Brake Pad and Rotor change on a 2005 G35 coupe....themselves?
I hear it is fairly easy to do and would like to avoid the $675 quote the dealer gave for parts and labor. I have the Factory Service Manual so I am planning to proceed by just using that....but sometimes videos (such as the Youtube video of changing the engine air filter or cabin filter) or other helpful suggestions from those who have done it before can make the job even easier. Thanks in advance.

I did a quick walk-through of the front Brembo brake pad replacement, but it's probably different from the stock 05 setup.

I've done the break pads and it was trivial. It was my first DIY and I followed one of the many guides online. I think it took me about 2 hours to do all 4 wheels.
Not sure how much harder it is to change the rotors too, but I think you should definitly try it yourself before handing that much money over to the dealer. Parts should run you about $200 for the front if you go aftermarket. Why only the front though? It's always a good idea to change the rears at the same time as the fronts.

If the rears aren't worn out, there's no reason to change them unless you are upgrading your pads.
If yours is a non-Brembo setup, bythabay and I should have a video of replacing the rear brakes in about a week. It should be very similar to replacing the fronts.
