breaks on an F250 4X4? I don't want to pay ~$500 to get them done. I'd be willing to pay for your time and a beer or two or three.

Just changing brake pads? If so, You can buy the pads and a C clamp and do them yourself. Takes about 10 minutes a tire.

Nice...I have never done it before. I took it to break check and the guy quoted me $480.00. I almost passed out. Seems a bit steep to change the breaks.

You get these changed yet?

Nice?? wtf does that mean.. Google how to change brake pads..Was trying to save you $500..but seems you just want some good Ag to do it for free..oh and a beer..Gert off the couch

Hey asshat, "nice" means thanks for the info. I didn't know it would be that easy. Like I said, I had never done it before and didn't want to take the chance of screwing something up and putting my wife's or my own life at risk because I didn't change the breaks correctly. Excuse me for being cautious. After I saw your post, I did some research, asked a few professionals who were nice enough to give me proper instruction. I don't trust most things on google...especially when it could harm a family member if done incorrectly.

And for the record...

Assuming it takes an hour to change the breaks and I paid $250 rather than the $480 that break check quoted me, someone could have had a good pay day and a few beers...

I ended up doing it for just under $125 total, so thanks again for the info.

And before you go there, yes, my wife's life is worth $480.00 and I would have paid it if I hadn't learned how and felt comfortable with doing them myself.

Thanks again!

Yeah, thanks for asking rusty.

Cant we all just get along?

Jesus Christ, Law. Was that necessary?

LMAO Pablo. Just icing on the cake.

No not necessary...bad day..and Im sorry Ol' Rock. You ever get to Waco and that beer is on me..

No worries Law. We all have our bad days...I hope all is going well now! Likewise on the beer; if you are ever headed down Temple way give me a shout on here and we'll grab a beer!

great thread

I'm already in temple, will somebody buy me a beer?
