I did hear that one, and I bet it's even louder in person! I'm starting to contemplate again lol

 

Do it yourself, you'll save thousands of $$$ in your lifetime and its real easy and a good reason to polish of some beers on a nice sunday afternoon.

There's so many write ups online for brake installs, all of them are pretty much the same except we have rear disks, which require you to turn the piston rather than compress them like you would the front (amazing how many people dont know that). in fact some parts places will lend you tools to help you (parts source in can, i hear autozone in US does it as well), i made my own disk brake tool.

 

if u dont want to risk it, especially since u have kids. take it to a shop
plus like 1 of the guys said, they'll prolly bleeed ur brakes as well
what kind of rotors did u get, stillen?

 

its not too bad to do yourself. usually runs about .8 hours of labor. but yea make sure you have a understanding of how it all works though before doing it yourself.

i have this funny story...this guy was at our shop other day i recommended a fuel filter based on mileage...he told me he didnt want to buy so he went home. 3o mins later he calls and said he snapped the line off the fuel filter and its getting towed over. LOL he then asks me to give him a break on the labor. in my head i was like dude....i just recommended it and u wanted to do it yourself LOL. he could of paid 90 bucks and had it done right but he ended up paying about 350 bucks and about 4 days without a truck since the line was special order. i guess he didnt know it has a little plastic clip that comes out first before tugging line.
