My brakes have been sqeeking...Im not sure if I need new pads or not. First, what should I try to see what it is, it might be dust or something right? Second, if it is brake pads how hard are they to change myself and what pads should I look for?

take off your wheels and check both inner and outer pads to see if they are thin, if so you need to replace them. as far as how hard is it to change it's really not that hard there's 2 14mm bolts loosen the top one and remove the bottom one. flip the caliper up remove your old pads and install the new ones (just remember how the old ones were on) open your reservoir and use a c clamp to compress the piston back in. flip the caliper back down. tighten both 14mm bolts. put the cap back on the reservior put your wheel back on. go into your car pump the brakes and your done.

I don't remember where but I was reading you should only use ceramic pads on maximas...this true or does it not matter?
