I did a front brake job on Dad's 2001 Tacoma. New pads and rotors. To remove the rotors, you have to remove the hubs and then they're held on w/ 5 bolts between the other bolts that hold the wheels on, and then they come off the back. A little rust so they needed a little convincing. Nothing terrible, just wasn't prepared for the extra little bit required.
I also did an oil change. Of course the shop tightened the oil filter so hard that it was a major PITA to get it off. Barely had enough room to get in there w/ my filter socket and ratchet(only time I have to use it on anything is an oil change after a shop did it). When I told Dad I did the oil too he told me the guys at Car-X just never changed the sticker. He had it done about 1 1/2 months ago and it only had about 1000 miles on it. Here I thought he was about 1000 miles over....
They also checked his brakes then and said he could make it through the winter yet.... When I did them today the passenger side was metal on metal and the driver side wasn't too far away either. Thanks to them I got to experience the full effect of replacing the rotors too.... Otherwise I could have just resurfaced them on the blanchard grinder at work and been done.
