Default 2001 Durango Rotor Change help

hello all... I am planning to change the rotors and brakes on my 2001 durango.. any special tools that I will need? any tips/suggestions? When I checked them the brakes on the outside were fine but the inside rotor was a mess! all uneven and only the middle is holding... thanks for any help you may provide.

nope, no special tools, just the normal sockets and allen keys, not a hard thing to do, just make sure you dont hang the caliper by the brake hose, and dont touch the new rotor or brake pad with your hands

There is a nice tool for the rears. Not required, but makes drum brake swaps easier dealing with the springs, clamps etc.

Use a coat hanger to hold the front calipers up and a C clamp to push in the piston. remember to take the cap off the master cylinder and never run it dry.
