Need some info on Brake pad Replacement!
Could anyone tell me what tools I need to replace my brake pads? (IE: how are the calipers held on, what size wrenches and sockets {metric or standard}) TIA
PS. I own a 2006 SCrew FX4

I did mine last week and you will need a set of metric sockets. I don't remember exactly, but on the front you'll need either a 10 or a 12mm socket to get the caliber off and a 17 or a 18mm socket to get the bracket off that holds the pads. Don't forget a c-clamp. For the rear it's just a 10 or 12mm socket, if you have rear disc like me. The rear doesn't have a separate bracket for the pads like the front. These things are easy to replace.

F1 racing rotors and Possi-Quiet pads
I got these from Speed Solution International Inc.

Yes, I like them. No more break dust
The pads are still simi-metallic but no dust so far. If they start producing a lot of dust I'll switch them out with the ceramic pads later. I think they be fine though. They felt a little spongy until I broke them in (less than 100 miles). There fine now and stop great.
