Doing your own brakes is another way that you can save tons of money, and it's not that hard. Take the caliper off. There's two bolts. There's one on the bottom, one on the top. Once you take the caliper off, you wanna hang it, and then, take the brake pads off. Take this caliper bracket off. There's two bolts. Then, clean the brake caliper bracket up. Take the rotor off.
