Do you mean brakes?

Naturally, he does. (Humans are smarter than computers -- they can correctly interpret incorrect communication because humans, but not computers, can sense the intended meaning.)

Perhaps I shouldn't answer since I don't know how to do brakes, but I believe brake jobs are not hard once you know what you're doing.

doing your front brakes is a pretty simple job. If you don't already have the "real mccoy" shop manual, get it. Consider if you are to have a Ford dealer do the job vs buying the shop manual and parts yourself equal amounts of money. The next job you do you're ahead by $$. I replaced my front brakes, rotors, serviced the calipers, first time job for me and it took about 2.5 hours. I'm sure the next time will be just over half that amount of time. Brakes are a critical part of a vehicle so they must be done properly. If you don't want to purchase the mechanics manual then go somewhere and have the job done professionally. If you're interested in the manual they can be purchased from

For a first timer, the manual is useful.

But if this is all you are going to do, just visit the local library and xerox the relevant pages.
