Brakes front and back
Does anyone have any ideas on how to change the front and back break pads on the 08 Connie..I am trying to learn how to do simple maintenance myself.

Changing the pads is a very simple operation. Just remove the calipers (use a high quality allen wrench) then with a screwdriver spread the pads apart (before installing the new ones). Then (I believe you have to remove a pin or two) remove and replace the pads and bolt the caliper back on. Pump up the brakes and you are good to go. Follow the pad mfgs, break in and you are set.
