So ive got the infamous rear caliper getting ready to sieze...its not stuck but it seems to stick for brief moments. Also my front rotors have needed replacing for a while. So how much you think a place would charge to install front and rear rotors and rebuild the caliper thats on its way out.

$200-250 is what I was quoted for having my front/rear roters replaced.

I just did mine yesterday - with no knowledge and a few tool runs, took me 6 hrs. Now I could probably do it in 2. all 4 brake pads and rotors

You will need an impact screwdriver, a large c- clamp, and a socket set. A jack and jack stands are necessary as well.

Once you do 1 front and 1 rear, the other 2 take 20 minutes tops (its just figuring out how the whole system operates).

PM me with any questions or problems, and ill walk you through it.

Brakes are pretty easy, generally. Mostly because few parts are involved and you can actually reach everything without straining. Brakes were my first DIY and I've done it many times since then on different types of brakes. Never a problem.

Add to the list above - get some Brakeleen to help clean/degrease everything, and check with your Helms before you start.
