- I am auto-mechanically challenged, in the sense
- that the most complicated jobs that I have undertaken are
- changing the oil/filter, and changing the spark plugs. Now
- I am in need of getting new brake pads for my MPV.
- I would have attempted to do it myself without a second thought
- if it were not the brakes and hence, a safety issue
- for the travelling public.
-
- I have looked at the haynes manual and the mazda shop
- manual. The job does not look very complicated. Is there
- anything that you all can tell me - such as common novice
- mistakes/errors or anything else you know ? Please feel
- free to tell me that I shouldn't attempt this if that is your
- opinion.
-
- If you think this is too mundane for the readership of this group,
- please e-mail to me at joseph@c2a.crd.ge.com

- Thanks a bunch in advance
