Hey, I am wanting to save some money and replace the brake pads myself. Is it a complicated job? Should I go with OEM pads? Thanks for any info. David

 

No it's not a difficult job. The OEM pads seem to last at little longer than the aftermarket. At least on our service trucks they do.

 

Jack the rear end, both sides off the ground, take both wheels off, both sides. Only change one side at a time, so you always have a visable reference to look at if something doesnt quite look right on restall. Our brakes are much easier than they used to be. Drums had springs that were a bear for those without the right tools. Needle nose pliers have ruined more than one persons day!!
