Well I finally got around to changing my front brakes this weekend. I didn't have any problems at all except that I broke the front brake sensor on both calipers. The metal wire was so embedded in the brake pad that it snapped off on both of them when I removed it. It seemed really brittle. I don't know if I could have done anything about it. I used Textar brake pads I got from FastLane. I've noticed they squeel sometime at low speeds whereas the previous brake pads never squeeled. I hope the squeeling goes away. It's really annoying.

Thanks for your help.

Scott
