Brake Job Parts
A brake job starts with the axle that needs service: compare front and rear brake pads, choose the right pad material for your driving, and inspect the rotors before ordering. Many jobs need pads and rotors together; brake kits and hardware can simplify the parts list.
Parts You Need for a Brake Job
Brake parts are usually axle-specific. Start with front or rear, compare pad material, and inspect rotors before choosing pads alone or a pad-and-rotor kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What parts do I need for a brake job?
A complete brake job typically requires brake pads, brake rotors, brake kits, brake fluid, repair manuals. Select your vehicle to see parts listed for your specific year, make, and model, then confirm exact fit on product pages.
Should I replace brake pads and rotors together?
If the rotors are worn, grooved, warped, or below minimum thickness, replace them with the pads. If the rotors are still in good condition, some brake jobs only need pads, but always inspect both sides of the axle before ordering.
Ceramic or semi-metallic brake pads: which should I choose?
Ceramic pads are usually quieter and create less visible dust for daily driving. Semi-metallic pads can handle heat well and are often chosen for heavier vehicles, towing, or more demanding driving. Match the pad type to your vehicle and how you use it.
Do I need front or rear brake pads?
Front and rear brake pads are usually different part numbers. Check which axle needs service, compare the product title and fitment notes, and order the matching front or rear set.
How long does a brake job take?
A brake job typically takes 2-4 hours and is rated as moderate difficulty. Actual time may vary depending on your experience and the specific parts being replaced.
Can I do a brake job myself?
A brake job is a moderate DIY project. If you have some mechanical experience and the right tools, you can handle it. Otherwise, consider having a professional do the work.
