Changing Brake Pads

Changing Brake Pads
I'm attempting to change my brake pads for the first time on my dodge. What size tools will I need to remove the caliper from the rotor? How can I inspect my rotors? I'm gonna get the duralast pads (ceramic). I just was curious to know because once I have the wheels off I don't wanna put it back on and go to the store if I don't have the correct size bit. Thanks alot

No special tools really required. Basic socket and end wrenches.
You can go to the FAQ/DIY section and download a service manual for more info.
Rotors should have the minimum thickness stamped on it. I can't remember off the top of my head. Service manual has specs and parts store has the specs also. If rotors are grooved, they need turned (provided they are still thick enough) or replaced. Not very expensive nowadays.

Good point. I assume it may be different? Oh, well....service manual should clear that up for OP (either way) !
