Yeah I have Wagner TQ pads, Raybestos Front Rotors and then Raybestos Spindle nuts... so just the caliper grease? Do I need any cleaners? I am only doing the front pads/rotors this time around

the only thing that happens to fluid over time is it starts to trap moisture, reducing its boiling point. Most manufacturors recommend brake fluid exchanges at a normal interval.

For instance LR recommends every 45k miles or 3 years


but does it absolutely need to be done, probably not, but also keep in mind you can screw up the system by introducing air bubbles if you dont know what you're doing

The TQs have their on quietner on the back of the pad. I don't use any cleaner other than rubbing alcohol if I see I need something other than just wiping off.

It will. Glad to see you tackle this. After it's over, you will be proud and then wonder why you feared it so much.

Those are famous last words......

It will most likely go smoothly John but just be prepared in case it does not. Good luck it will be a good learning experience for you either way

You are still King Slacker for a reason. I think I may only play 9 tonight, I didn't sleep well and I am dead tired right now.
