Subject:      Re: Has anyone done front brakes on Eurovan?



    I have!


    Piece of cake!  I paid abou $60 for my pads, make sure they are 
semi-metallic.  
    I think the only tool I needed was a small screwdriver, the job is 
self explanatory.  I dont recall if they are vented but I do know YOU 
MUST HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED.
