  • Links to Amazon, RockAuto, and AutoZone
  • Total parts cost vs. shop quote, side by side

Safety-first

Cautions before you crack a bolt.

We flag the moments that trip up first-timers: ABS line routing, brake bleeding sequence, bedding-in procedure. You see the risks before you start — not after something goes wrong.

  • Danger zones called out in plain English
  • Tool substitutions that are safe vs. risky
  • When to stop and take it to a shop
  • Bedding-in and break-in procedure included
Safety cautions — read before starting
HIGH Never open brake system if ABS light is on — bleed sequence voids sensor
MED Caliper piston must be wound back (not pushed) on rear — different tool required
MED Bed-in procedure required after new pads — 6 stops from 35 mph before full load
INFO Torque sequence matters — snug then final torque in a star pattern
