So I need to change my rear disc brakes... And I guess to be blunt how hard is it to do, good brand of brakes, and if any special tools are needed. Shop quoted me 170$ to just change rear with whatever brand brakes they use.

Brandmaner

Also what kind of rotors does everyone use? May need to replace mine also

Haha thats way to high. They are the same as front

Brandmaner

My front brakes are just pads my rear are weird looking and they call them disc brakes. I've always driven older rigs with all normal pads aha!

HardcoreFx4

Pads and disc are the same thing. Do you mean drum brakes? Where the brakes are on the side of the rotors?

Brandmaner

I guess so where there's two pads but there not like side by side but adjacent to each other on the outside of the rotor

HardcoreFx4

Yeah they are drum. And thats hard to believe i thought they quit making drums awhile ago.

dereku

They are disc with an internal drum as an emergency brake.

Brandmaner

Okay I am so confused haha I wish I had seen this before they put my tire back on.

dereku

Its basically a disc brake. The hub portion of the rotor just has drum pads in it to stop for emergencies.
