The first side took 2 hours. The second side took 1 hour.
I had a close call in traffic not too long ago, was glad I had brake pads replaced relatively recently
Did you make sure to grease the slide pins?
I did.
With the proper lube, I hope? They get hot, anything other than synthetic lube for brake parts will gum up
This is the stuff I used. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/SL_SL3301
All 4 rotors needed replaced?
The car has 51,000 miles on it (82,000 km) and only the rear brakes needed to be replaced. I always thought the front pads wore faster, but they still have a lot of meat on them
I always replace rotors with pads. I don’t have time to take the old ones to get resurfaced, and they aren’t that expensive in the grand scheme of things.
Is it a newer vehicle with adaptive cruise control? If so, the adaptive cruise on some vehicles will use the rear brakes to slow you down when needed, which can cause the rear pads to wear out faster.
