I have just spent 2 hours on 1 side of an escort van doing the brake pads. What should be a simple job has turned into a bitch.

1 of the bolts was absolutely fucked, and took an hour and much WD40 to release. When I finally get it off, and I'm ready to replace the new pads... I have been given the wrong 1's. I have Escort Van pads!! Fuckers.

Back to the shop.

Can the passenger side be any worse?? And it looks like Rain. :(
 
It's my brothers Van. I don't have a car. :(

The passenger side took 10 mins. Including kicking the wheel for 5 mins, because it was rusted to the hub.

So 1.5 hours on 1 side, 10 mins on the other. Should have been a 30 min job.
 
Damn that sucks. Sounds like the car isn't in that good of condition anyway?
But that is one of the percs of buyin a new car, part of my warranty they do all the work for free, and parts are covered by warranty so all I have to pay for is tires, even my oil changes are covered, its tight.
 
It's only 2 years old.

I don't do stuff on my own cars, can't be fucked. I do stuff for my parents and my brother to save them money. I end up regreting it.
