Hey folks, I am Okmitch77, don't be like Okmitch77. Here is the thing, I tried to be a cheap ass and do the normal front rotor and pad change this weekend thinking hey, the rears do not get used as much I can get by with just the fronts. Well, this is on a 2013, and me being the 2nd owner of this thing I set off to making it happen. I had a warped rotor up front that bugged me, and knew that I had not changed the pads since I owned it around 2015. Whelp, I go make it rain in AutoZone on Saturday for front pads and rotors. I replaced this **** in a apartment parking lot without them catching me and was feeling really proud. I back out of parking spot, and I have a crazy grinding noise. Oh well, must be a new pad thing. Drive it using a new pad rotor thing I found online. Still grinding. Long story short, at about 8PM it dawns on me, hey idiot, the rear has brakes to. You guessed it, right rear rotor was done for. No pad left, rotor destroyed. Left rear, rotor not as bad, but no pad left. I figure when I was being a safe mechanic and set my parking brake (which I have not set since I have owned the thing) is what did me in. In the long run glad it happened because this thing could have been a real deathtrap. Check all the brakes and pads folks. Remember, don't be Okmitch77.
