Default Brake pad replacement

Has anyone replaced their pads and if so how difficult /easy was it? I need to replace the front and rear pads. I just had this done last fall and the pads need to be replaced again.

any help would be great.

Garbroo,
No, not yet. How many Miles do you have on your Magnum? I had +50,000 Miles and 80% left on my Brake Pads... I figure I wouldn't need to replace Pads until 100,000 to 120,000 Miles. Which Model Magnum do you have? Do you have the RT with the Over Sized Rotors, Pads and Pistons? Inquiring minds want to know...

I have 54k on my car and i have had to have my pads and rotors replaced once already and need it again. Stupid D.C. traffic and constant going 60mph to 0mph in stop and go traffic is killing me. Normal wear and tear you shouldn't need them till around 100k like 2005 Mag said. For those who have a crappy commute in the morning and have people around who don't know how to drive or brake properly then it will be less.

I had to have mine replaced around 30K because I had no choice but to drive through flood water and the rotars warped.

When the dealer replaced mine, they failed to tell me they were using Mopar value line parts rather than Original Replacement Parts.
Be sure that you replace with original equipment and specify that.
The value line pads leave black dust unlike the originals, and the rotars warp in about 30k.
