Hey does anyone know how difficult it is or any advice to replace front brake pads on a 2005 Coupe (manual), And running low on cash so could I skate by just replacing pads and not rotors, pads right now are good but dealership says they will need to be replaced here in the future 3-5months!

Any pics or advice will be greatly appreciated!

G35AR2005, AR= Arkansas ha ha I know in the military thats why!!!

If you don't have any pulsation, there is no lip on the rotors, and you are using the same brake pads (same kind), then you should just be able to do a pad swap w/out issue. If you have some pulsation, you may need to have the rotors cut.

 

it's fairly easy... but than...i'm a mechanic.. lol.. but you gotta take your time and make sure your doing everything right and torquing each bolt when tightening. if you got questions let me know.. but the DYI video is really good to use to learn

 

nothing wrong w/ Arkansas bro, just depends on where you live. Unfortunately I'm guessing you don't live in NWA so I do feel bad for ya.

You can replace the pads yourself and if the rotors aren't too bad you could just get them refinished at a local parts shop that has the equipment.

 

Thanks for all the replies, The rotors are good no warp or ''lip'',

Question is If i buy aftermarket pads they should just fit in fine, right?

Does any one know the torque req. for the bolts that hold the brake pad assembly?

I change out my brake pads on my 98 Honda Accord & 91 Nissan 240 all the time & have no trouble.

I just dont want 2 pay the Dealer for a job that a trained monkey can do. BTW I stay in Little rock & yeah it sucks, orig' from SoCal so ya' weather, roads, diversity sucks here.
