How to Diagnose or Replace

  1. Loosen the six lug nuts, lift the corner, and remove the wheel to expose the caliper.
  2. For rear brakes, place the Electric Park Brake into service mode using a scan tool first.
  3. Remove the two caliper slide bolts, lift the caliper off, and hang it to avoid hose strain.
  4. Slide out the old pads, then unbolt the caliper bracket to free the rotor.
  5. Fit the new vented front or solid rear rotor onto a clean hub face.
  6. Compress the piston, install new pads, and torque caliper bolts to factory specification.
  7. Reinstall the wheel, torque lugs near 130 lb-ft, and pump the pedal firm before driving.

Cost Breakdown - DIY vs Shop

Job DIY parts only Shop parts and labor
Front pads + rotors $180-$420 parts $430-$900 done at shop
Rear pads + rotors $160-$380 parts $420-$920 done at shop
Pads only (per axle) $60-$160 parts $200-$450 done at shop
Brake fluid flush $15-$40 fluid $110-$200 done at shop

DIY savings scale with vehicle size and job complexity. A full-size truck brake job saves $450-700 in labor. For most passenger cars, plan on 90-120 minutes per axle for pads only, 2-3 hours for pads plus rotors.

Install Tips - Where Most DIYers Go Wrong

  • Retract the rear EPB with a scan tool before pad service; never force the piston back.
  • Torque lug nuts to about 130 lb-ft in a star pattern after refitting each wheel.
  • Bed in new pads and rotors with graduated stops and avoid hard braking for 200 miles.
