Central Florida Brakes - need some help

Hey everyone,

My brake sensor just came on - so I'm thinking I need to replace my brake pads/senors. I'd just as soon take it somewhere to get fixed, but lately I've had this urge to do some of my own work on my car. Unfortunately though, I live in a highrise and have no tools or place to do work on it. Anyone in central florida want to help me change out my brakes on a saturday or sunday? I'll bring the beer! Also, if anyone has advice on a good set of brake pads (that don't get too dusty) I'd appreciate it. I have white wheels and they attract brake dust like a magnet. thanks!

Are you willing to drive to Hernando Beach? I'll be doing brakes in the next month or two. Have you thought about bypassing the sensors?

Looks like a Florida roll call here!

I'm in Melbourne Beach and am starting to get the Brake Wear Indicator when I go through car washes. I suppose that it's either a short or I'm getting close to needing to do the pads myself. And maybe the rotors too, they have a bit of a lip on them now.

If you figure out any tricks or tips on changing out the pads and/or rotors, post 'em on here!

More likely an open when you go through the car wash. The light comes on when (a) connection is broken.
