Seems kinda pricey to me.... but then, I am cheap.

 

That'd be parts and labor. What tools other than "normal wrenches, sockets, and ratchets" do I need for rotors?

 

Possibly a big hammer. That's it. (in case it is reluctant to come off.....)

Not bad for parts AND labor.

 

Haha alright I'm going to have my wheel bearing done and see how thick the rotors are and go from there. Thanks guys

 

I was going to do my brakes on 96 Ram 1500 4X4. Rotor needs replaced. The biggest socket I had on site is 1 1/2 inch, I think that nut holding rotor on is bigger? Then I looked at the size of two torque bolts holding calibers on and didn't have anything big enough. Don't know what size that is either? Between 100 degrees + and not having the right size sockets, I am voting on taking to mechanic I know. They let me bring parts and charge $65.00 hour labor. Now he wants $130 to replace both sides pads and rotor and I will get him to pack wheel bearings. I know it won't take him 2 hours, but I am pushing 70 and this heat tires me out. I think this will be a first to have someone else do something this simple, but what the heck, I just don't know the size and would have to buy new tools to use once.

 

I know the feeling diverjer. I'm 78 and just can't do the things I used to do.
Even been thinking of going my tools and selling some them.
Been acquiring them since 1952.

 

I am surprised I don't have some bigger sockets, I have larger open end and box wrenches than 1 1/2. My father spent over 30 years working as a mechanic for Koss Construction, they do nothing but build roads. So he worked on heavy machinery and I have loads of large tools used on highway construction. I have thought about just giving all that large stuff to someone, Koss has a place around Topeka here where they work on equipment through the winter.
