Hello!
I believe it's time to do the front brakes on my 2001 Odyssey. I only have about 11,500 miles, but my wife drives about 90% in the city. The trip to and from work is mostly through residential streets with LOTS of stop signs!
I thought it was a little too soon, but maybe the city driving, together with 4000+ pound Ody weight conspire to shorten the pad life...
On to the question:
1) Is this a straightforward replace the pads brake job?
2) Are any special tools necessary? (For instance, to remove the caliper or push in the piston?)
I'd like to do this job myself, if I could.
I've done it on my Mustang several times.
Thanks!!
