DYI Brake Pad Replacement

Anyone know if it is easy to replace the pads on Brembo's. I couldn't find a DIY on the forum.

Yeah, you rock! You saved me $1000 on my brake pad change! Holman Infiniti of Egg Harbor, NJ wanted to charge me $600 for rear and $600 for the front for new pads and install! I told them to go fvck themselves for that price and did it myself for $172!

just make sure that you 'bed' the brake pads after installing them by doing a few hard, high speed stops....this will reduce the dreaded brembo squeal from occuring.

I get this slight metal on metal whine at 30-40km/h. Does anyone know what it could be. I've taken it to the dealership a few times and they can't figure it out.
