Yep, I’m changing my brake pads.  Did you even know you could do that?!  Well, now I can.  It was REALLY easy too, especially after I purchased the C-clamp to reset my calipers (sounds good right?)

Brett and I decided on Saturday that Sunday would finally be brake changing day. I desperately wanted to wear one of those mechanic jumpsuits.  Brett thought he had one, but couldn’t find it. I settled for wearing his John Deer hat and drinking a beer.  That seemed mechanic-y.

I really did this whole brake all by myself.

Mission accomplished!  We estimated I saved like $400.   Look how productive I can be when I’m recovering! ;)
