Sounds like a lot of my DIY's. Damn the AAP employees that wouldn't know a brake pad from a seat cover. [:@]

Save it for another day if you can, so that you're not rushed. All kinds of things tend to happen when you're rushed.

RE: DIY brakes: part one
yeah, I didn't want to rush, so I started yesterday (although I did have to take a big break for a BBQ) ... The rain has dulled to a fine mist and I ALMOST have everything apart. 6 hours left until I have to go to sleep ;) I think I can make it

If you take the old part with you when you go to the parts store you will save yourself a ton of headaches.
