I had to get new front brakes this week end I just went with the o reilys brake best select one though so nothing too fancy. The pads came off pretty easy but then when I went to pull the rotors to have then turned the drivers side wouldn't come off. The end result of that was having to use half a can of PB blaster a map gas torch a 3 foot pry bar and another smaller pry bar while beating it with an 8 lb sledgehammer for about 5 minutes before it came off. So obviously I got new rotors as well, and of course the passenger side popped right off no problem.





I have a feeling this will really help my fuel economy as it seemed to coast much further now that the new brakes are on.
