[QUOTE="ashnk, post: 440157, member: 22015"] My dad helped replace the brakes. It took us a few good hours, hardest part was getting the rotor off. We replaced the rear brake pads and rotors, and the rear driver side caliper bracket, one of the long pins was stuck and ended up snapping while trying to remove. Inside brake pads were worn down the most and the rotors had grooves so they def needed to be changed. The e-brake pads on the drivers side look like they need to be replaced too. The passenger side weren't as bad, had more pad then the other side. The inside of the rotor on drivers side had some scrapes/grooves from the e-brake we believe. It wasn't too terrible like it was happening for a while, just minor. Once done the brakes and rotors, we took it for a drive. It seemed to feel like i was slightly dragging, but also that could have just been in my head and we were going up a slight incline. It didn't jerk/seize up at 10mph and shifted into gears fine, BUT i did have to reverse out of my parking spot - which usually helped the issue before. My dad doesn't believe he'll be able to change the e-brake pads. We watched a few videos and it seems like we could, but might just be easier to pay someone to do it. And it was getting way too hot outside to continue. Thank you everybody for your advice! I greatly appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
