Brake service all around

[Captain Bart]

2014 1500. Brakes are fine, however, I like to be pro-active, so I am going to change the rotors and pads because I can. My question is, is this a simple mechanical plug n play rotor swap, and pads installed? Are there ABS sensors, etc. that would be affected by a simple brake service?

Any codes involved? Any ghee whiz to be aware of?

i just did the front brakes on the sqids truck. wow what apita. passenger side the rotor was rust welded on pins seized in the bracket. i beat the rotor off with a hammer (BFH). then put the braket in the vise and sprayed and twisted hammered heated. after a couple of hours it came out. a couple of days later wheel bearing was done that involved a bit more hammering and swearing etc. the kid god bless him wants to do this himself but he is not strong enough. i’m not as strong as i used to be either now that im older and dieing. but at least he’s trying and paying attention

oh yeah the driver side was no problem had it done in a couple of hours

so if you have to beat the rotor off. do the wheel bearings too cause they are not going to last

and yes that’s apita too because the bolts come in from the back. but don’t be afraid to do this yourself because it’s pretty simple mechanicly its just apita
