Is there a job to be like an Explorer?

2002 Ford Explorer Brake job question?

  • I have a 2002 Ford Explorer, the ABS light came on so I know I need brakes. I bought it 5 years ago used and I have not changed the brakes yet so I am assuming I need rotors as well. I have looked around my area to get an estimate of how much a complete brake job would be (with rotors, etc) and at this point I don't have that much money. My question is: can I just replace the brake pads only, and then in a couple of months when I do have the money replace everything? I just moved to South Florida from Mass. so I do not know anyone that can change the brakes on the side, or a place the is reputable and cheap. Thank you,

  • Answer:

    The answer is yes you can change just the pads. The pads will wear faster because of the imperfections/ wear on the rotors. if you change only the pads Check closely for cracks it the rotors you plan to put back on . Also if they have lots of grooves and are not flat you may take them and have them turned, provided they have enough thickness.
