[Chevelle-list] Very OT - Chevy ABS pads

Karl:
I have a 98 GMC 1 ton (3500) and have done the brakes 3 times. First time I  
just changed the pads.The second time I had a shop do it ($200.00) and they  
turned the rotors on the vehicle.The third time I pulled the rotors just like  
Dan mentioned (had to use a puller to break rotor off the spindle) and the 
next  time a shop is going to do them. With the hub pressed on to the rotor  it 
was hard for the machine shop to set them up to turn. After I bought pads and  
had the rotors turned I was into the job close to $125.00 and close to 5 hours 
 of my time. I am not a novice at this sort of stuff and had all the right  
equipment. Again as Dan mentioned the best thing to do is make sure you use  
premium pads.
