Finally did something on my own.
I needed new brake pads and looked on motorvate and it looked easy. So I went and bought new pads and changed them myself. What a breeze. I'm never going to pay to have front pads installed ever again. Now I need to get new rotors sometime, probably around summer time. Are back brakes different than changing front brakes?

Pad replacement is one of the easier jobs to do on the Max. Now give a go at the alternator and see what that entails.
