Exclamation What parts to buy for a complete brake job?

My uncle can do a complete brake job if I have the parts. I plan on having the rotors turned or replaced. Can someone give me a list of ALL the parts to buy to do this? Thanks!

I also plan on repacking the hubs while the wheels are off.

For the front buy pads, dust free like Titanium ones. Two rotors. Rebuilt calipers if you desire to go that route. I didn't. Just re-lube the slide bolts on the calipers with lithium grease.

Depending on how many miles you have on your truck you'll probably just have to clean up the rear drums, lube the backing plate where the brake shoes rub with lithium grease. Clean out brake dust with BrakeKleen or equivalent.

Get a couple bottles of DOT3 brake fluid and bleed the system. That's it.

Under $200usd total without different calipers.

With the dual piston front calipers get a couple c-clamps to press the pistons in or put a piece of steel bar or something across both and depress them. Don't press one it and pop the other one out!

The front hubs are not serviceable. If there is play replace them. You can't repack them or anything unfortunately.

Have fun.
