JayG - good to know on the pad change. I hope it goes smoothly for me.

Last year I purchased "lift bars" to help raise the vehicle up.

I need to get a new floor jack that is low enough...with my current old floor jack, I need to get a couple of 2x10's under each tire to allow enough room to get my floor jack under the lift bars.

lift bars are great. That will save you time

Harbor freight has a pretty good low profile jack for under $100. I have one and it works great

Be careful when pulling the sensors from the pads, they break easily. Consider tieing them off and not reinserting ion the pads. The pad wear is easy to see through the wheels
