How much should it cost to turn or replace the rotors and put on brake pads on a 02 nissian frontier?

I am in a bind for money right now and need to save as much as possibleHow much should it cost to turn or replace the rotors and put on brake pads on a 02 nissian frontier?Why do you need new rotors?? If you replace brake pads in a %26quot;timely manner%26quot; they should not require replacing or %26quot;turning%26quot;--- the exception is if you have really been %26quot;hard on brakes%26quot; (got them white hot)-and %26quot;tempered%26quot; discs (rotors) by running through cold water or somehting to cause %26quot;hard%26quot; spots on surfaces, -- which in turn make brake pedal %26quot;pulsate%26quot; when braking hard!



My Ply.Acclaim has 280K mi on it ( 100K of which I put on)--not %26quot;re-surfaced%26quot; yet, and brakes work just fine yet (and discs smooth!) Also I get about 30-50 thousand on front , never have changed the rear shoes. now %26quot;due for front pads%26quot; again (replaced once before) in 5 years and 100Kmi! By the way this is an automatic, not standard (so not using transmission to slow down either).



This is not a hard job - if you have any %26quot;mechanical aptitude%26quot;!

Go buy yourself a Haynes Auto Repair manual -- for less than $20 at %26quot;better%26quot; car parts stores,....( I get mine at AutoZone), and it will give you step by step instructions to do this,- and about anything else on your vehicle -- (except rebuild transmission)! It should cost you probably less than $100 to replace %26quot;both ends%26quot;, - if you don't have bad discs!, - and about 5-6$ each to have them re-ground (if you have to),- (and there is enough left for grinding!) I have 3 daughters and 5 grandchildren driving right now, and it generally costs less than $100 (when I do them), since the rears wear about 1/3 as fast as the fronts, - so you don't genrerally replace fronts and rears at same time!.... That is unless you take it to a %26quot;brake shop%26quot;!How much should it cost to turn or replace the rotors and put on brake pads on a 02 nissian frontier?if you're doing all the work, it should cost about $40 for pads front, and $40 rear. If the parts place has a machine shop and can turn the rotors add about $30 a wheel for turning them. If you're taking the car to a garage figure about $200 per end, or $100 a wheel.



It's pretty simple to do.How much should it cost to turn or replace the rotors and put on brake pads on a 02 nissian frontier?I would say it cost about $250 if you do it yourself. Why not inspect the rotors first, they might not need to be replaced. Make sure your replace your brake fluid while your are doing it and bleed the brakes after the pad replacement is done.How much should it cost to turn or replace the rotors and put on brake pads on a 02 nissian frontier?If your brakes are NOT metal to metal you can just change the pads and be fine for a long time. You will not get a brake shop or garage to do that because they will quote liability concerns, do it your self. If you can't then it'll cost about $100. plus additional parts. The pads are really, really cheap it's the labor and other parts that they will get you on. Good luck.
