Got brakes?

Well I put in new pads almost two years ago but a week ago they started to grind, so today I pulled my wheels off, and well, I'll let the pics do the talking:



Drivers side pad



Pax-side pad:



Pax-side rotor:



New rotors and pads:







The inner bearings were a b**** to get out, but thanks to Travis, I coaxed them out with a screwdriver and rubber hammer. They were repacked, and the brakes threw me back $150, but now I know I'll be safe

Nice, I think I need new brakes. I believe they haven't been changed since the truck was born, because I've had it for 4 years and haven't changed the brakes. Now when I drive, I hear squeaking and it happens when I turn my wheel and hit the brakes.

I love my new brakes. Got cutoff tonight, right foot planted on the brake and she slowed down a lot quicker than with those stock rotors and pads
