Running out of daylight

My brother in law and I started on his brake job this morning at nine. The disk brakes went quick, with the exception of the autoparts dood giving us the wrong rotors and pads.  So we hightailed it back for the correct stuff.
My BIL let his brakes go a bit long. 95,000 miles.
Yeah, it was time for a brake job.

  1. Nah, that'll buff out. There's another 20k left on those pads.
    If you haven't worn the pad down to the caliper piston, they're still good.

    P.S. Don't listen to my advice.

  2. I'm sure the rotors were in excellent condition. Those pads look hardly used! ;?

    1. I kept the driver's side rotor. If the shtf, it'll make a good washboard.

    1. which tells me you don't ride the back end of the car in front of you, or wait till the last second to brake. I'd ride with you anywhere PH.
