Well,how often do you slam on your brakes? Calipers last a really long time, and as long as you get brake pads as soon as you need them, and don't get your rotors all ground up and ruined, you won't need calipers for quite a while.
Brake calipers usually last forever. -The pads they hold wear out depending how you drive and pad quality. Good pads will last about 40-50,000 miles, cheap ones as little as 20,000. If you want best deal get ceramic pads.
Usually about 70 -80,000 miles.
If you need to replace the discs or calipers your costs will rise accordingly. You can ... The rear brake pads should last twice as long as the front disc pads.
Suburban driving- 30K miles. Highway- 40K miles.
I dont think that you need to torque down the brake caliipers. I never have and it has never hurt me any, as long as you get them really tight.
front or rear? both are very similar. take the wheels off. loosen and take off the calipers (should be 2 bolts if my memory serves me correctly, the bolts are kinda long. slide the caliper off revealing the brake pads. replace the brake pads and put it all back together. Don't forget to use brake lube on the sliders of the calipers.
How long the shoes last depend on the driving conditions and usage. If the e-brake is set and forgotten, the shoes will wear conciderably faster. Usually, the brakes will last as long as the normal shoes will. A lot of the answer will also depend on the type of vehicle used in this question...
call the tire rack or check their website they will tell you what sizes will fit on your ca as long as you have stock springs and brake calipers
Brake pads should last approximately 50,000 miles. The life of a brake pad is dependent upon the driver and the driving conditions.
To remove the calipers just knock out the two square pins that are on the top and side. The best way i found to do this is use a long socket extension. put the insert end (the end you would put the socket on)against the pin and tap on the other side .
