Brake Job
Before I replace my pads and rotors, is there anything I should know before hand. Such as any tips or tricks of the trade, I have never performed a brake job on my tibby before.
If I remember correctly on my 95 Elantra I needed a rotor puller to get the them off. But I believe they were captive style rotors and these are Non-Captive.

You probably don't need new rotors unless your old ones are damaged/grooved/etc... if they are you can probably have them "turned" for a lot less than new rotors anyway. When I replaced my brake pads at 81k miles I didn't have any vibration when stopping or pulling to one side so I just replaced the pads and they still are going strong at 89k miles.
