Just got back from service, do i need new brakes?
I have 36k miles...The fronts have 6mm left and the rears have 3mm. I do get an intermittent squeal when braking hard and high speeds.
Anyway. I am definitely replacing the rears, however, i'm not sure if I should just do the fronts at the same time....6mm seems like its about time...
I'll be doing rotors and pads...
What do you think?

unless you have air tools getting to that torque member with enough leverage to get it off is pretty close to impossible. 36k you shouldnt be having brake issues unless you really ride it hard. if you are planning on new rotors and pads you might as well run them down until they are near gone.

Def replace the rears, i think they start to squeal at 2mm left b/c the wear indicators will touch. Also, the manual says to replaced them at 2mm so you are basically there. For the fronts 6mm sounds fine, i think the pads are 10mm new (maybe 12mm), so you have a few miles left on them yet.

how big of a breaker bar did you have? im not sure how to get one up in that wheel well. the bottom bolt on the torque member is really close to one of the camber adjustment arms. i could barely get even a rachet in there.
