Brake Pad questions... Akebono
I ordered my pads from advanced auto. I got two sets of pads, Eur676 front, Eur493 back. I have not yet done the brakes on this beast before so it is new to me. I was a little concearned about the size of the Eur493. I have read in the forums that these are correct, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks in advance.

Those are correct as Bundu stated. Easy job. I just did new drilled slotted rotors and Akebono's on my 02, with a full flush and bleed. What a difference. I now have a great pedal. Found a leaking seal left rear in the process and fixed it the next weekend. Get a caliber piston tool at Autozone (cheap) and make sure your pistons are all the way in before re-assembly.

I have done them on my jeeps and tacoma. From what I understand these are easier. My dad loves projects like this so he will be helping me. Plus he has the garage and tools. Rotors look good feel smooth with a tiny lip. Ill check them once the tires are off. I have checked ahead to make sure they are in stock if needed. Any other advice or things I should look for and do while I am in the project?

Just did Akebono from and rear with new LR Rotors. You will not be disappointed. I was told by a few people not to do drilled and or slotted as they destroy the pads at a faster rate. So be careful with that.
