06 front discs

My front discs are wore out at 50000 miles,thats what heavy towing without a jake will do.I,m thinking of going back with the oem discs.The Dodge dealer has something they call a value disc /pads,they are cheaper than oem,Any words of wisdom re the pads and installation would be appreciated.

I would go back with the OEM parts, not the value line stuff.

Fairly straight forward. The rotors might be rusted to the hubs. A little persuasion will get them off. Take time to clean things well while apart. Get the torque specs for all the fasteners and you'll be fine.

When you collapse the caliper pistons, be sure to open the bleeder screw. That way your not pushing old fluid back into the system.

There is only two bolts that hold the caliper to the frame (where you load the pads). Use a little anti-seize on them when you reinstall, and tighten to 10 ft/lbs.
