I always do my own oil changes, but this was the first time I've done brakes.</p> <p>The brakes were actually extremely simple to do, assuming you have the right tools, which I did. You just remove the wheel, take the caliper off, and clip on the new pads. After cleaning and greasing the contact surfaces, of course. The rotors stumped me though. Luckily a quick call to my brother solved that. You just hammer them of and slide the new ones on. Bolt it all together, et voila, new brakes.</p> <p>So for about $100 CAD I have brand new, Premium, brakes. Now for some new tires. ;)</p>
