Hello everyone,

I have to replace the front brakes on my 97 Jeep TJ and I thought I would
ask for some help here. I have never done it before but I was thinking if
it's not too difficult I might tackle this myself... so do you know of any
kind of guide or manual I could follow? Also how difficult do you think it
is?
What's a reasonable price if I get it done at a garage or dealership? (I
live in Ontario...)

Thanks to all for your input.
Joe.

I checked with the dealership and they quoted me $500 (Canadian) for a
complete front brake job...

Any input?
Thanks,
Joe.

Front disc, right? It's a walk in the park. I never did brakes before and
after reading this, I had it done in 30 minutes... and I took my time.

I agree it's very easy. I read that article and it's very good. The part
that literally took the longest for me was the jacking and
removal/installation of tires. And that was using a floor jack and a 4-way
wrench.
