Brakes Dead, Need Help To Replace - Raine - 07-30-2004
Well my pads on the front are le fuked, and they need changing now. For the past two days it's been grinding whenever I brake and my father is pretty much saying no driving till I get it fixed. I don't want to spend several hundred dollars at Ford when I figure this can't be too hard. Anyone wanna help me learn how to do this? I can drive to your place in the afternoon (but not far, cause it's really not too safe as it is right now) or you can come here (preferred). I have no jack or jackstands, but I have ratchets, screw drivers and hammers galore (no torque wrench or air compressor tho, so it's manual labour to get them bolts off!). Beer's on me for anyone that can make it/let's me use their place.
EDIT: This must be done TODAY! (Friday)

Ben, could I borrow a jack/stands?

I take it you don't need a jack and jackstands anymore.
If you plan on doing it today let me know , (416)888-6901, even if I'm at work, erin will be home and you can get the jackstands and stuff from here.
