    Calipers are pretty simple on most vehicles, I just bought a Tacoma and haven't done any maintenance on it yet so things may be more complex than I'm about to explain. You'll only need basic hand tools and a way to compress the piston/pistons to get the new pads in and over the rotors. I'm sure there's vehicle specific info in the service manual or a clymer (or the like) manual. If you've never done brakes before I recommend you have the appropriate refence material. Make sure you buy the correct brake fluid (I'm guessing DOT5) since the different fluids don't play well with others and certainly like to eat seals made to be used with their counterparts. Keep the brake fluid and any other oils off the pads and rotors (get enough brake clean). Use a torque wrench when installing, this is where that reference material will come in handy. Lastly be very careful with the bleeder screw, they like to round off easily. You'll need a second person when bleeding the brakes to "pump and hold". It's fairly cut and dry with the right reference material and not difficult if you're fairly competent in the shop. However, if you are unsure of something these are your brakes and a mistake could lead to catastrophe. Just my 2 cents, you're mileage may of course vary.




    The metal stuff cracks me up. Slayer does in fact rule, and screamo (I guess is what it's called) is a pretty poor excuse for music. May as well group that with Beiber. Here's some good ol American metal…

    The hardest part is bleeding the brakes, and that's still pretty simple.

    Basically you pull the wheel, unscrew the brake line, cap the brake line (little rubber caps are great for this and you can find them at vatozone and the like), then unbolt the caliper and pull it off.

    You would need to either get your rotors turned or put new rotors on unless you're absolutely sure your current rotors are fine. (turning them is inexpensive and really is the right way to do it.)

    After that, just reassemble and bleed them. A vacuum bleeder is a wonderful thing to have, speed bleeders are also pretty darn nice. Or you could do it the old fashioned way and have somebody press the pedal while you open and close the bleeder screw.

    Scremo is metalcore. Metalcore sucks. Thrash is really good, just need the right band, like slayer or havok(havoks pretty good, listen to them). Power metal... I don't even know where to start. These guys sing about slaying dragons and shit. It doesn't get more metal than that
