Today I had the tires on my '96 rotated and the guy told me my front brakes are almost down to bare metal. He also gave me a $300 quote to install new ones. I can nearly get another cherokee for that!
My problem: I don't know s**t about brakes. I do have a repair manual. How big of a job is it to replace the front pads? Is this something a beginner can do with basic hand tools in an afternoon, without too much swearing and blood? Do the rotors HAVE to be resurfaced/replaced as well? Or is that just if they are damaged?
Also, what brake pads would you guys recommend? On Autozone's website I see they range from $15 to $50.
