'01 4x2 with 68K. Going to do the front rotors & pads myself this weekend. Haven't done this since I was 16. I've got the shop manual plus read every post and project on the topic. Couple of questions:
1. Is it absolutely necessary, or just common sense, to replace the inner & outer bearings when doing the brakes?
2. When I go to the parts store, how does the novice tell them which pads I want? (Advance Auto lists 23 different types & Autozone has 6.) Is there a brand to avoid?
3. Several posts mention putting something on the rear of the pads to avoid squealing. What is it and does it come with the pads?
Thanks for your help! This site has been a huge help.
