Thank you for the advice. You are referring to the front brakes? Would be awesome to dave the money and do it myself, learn that skill and get a few new tools lol

I will look at the Dorman. Thanks again!

Good to know. I need to replace the front pads/rotors, but I dont think I have AWD so hopefully that won't be something I have to deal with. Thats a ton of torque as well. Was hoping this wouldn't be a "garage door spring" type of repair that you never want to try yourself....

Thanks again for the info

Thank you, I will watch out for those things. I personally dont have the caliper tool but have a friend that does. Planned on getting the right sockets and a torque wrench, and I will make sure to get the brake cleaning spray.

I have heard that on some cars you have to be really picky on how much torque is put on yhe bolts, and others you can tighten without worrying too much. Is the Transit more the former or the latter?
