My rear brake pads have announced that they feel that they need a break (heh...), and are making grumbling noises until I do it for them. The dealer is out (!??!? WTF is that about?) but should have more tomorrow evening. Couple-o-questions, if I may. 1. Anything unusual to expect? I've done brakes on 93s, 95s, 96s, 97s, 99s, and Classic 900s... is there any surprise I am going to find as far as tools needed or procedures or ??? 2. How many miles should I be getting out of a set of pads? The car has 77,000 miles or so on it, and this is the first set. Is that normal? 3. Would now be a good time to upgrade to a different brand of pads? Conversely, is there a brand of pads to avoid? I'm not a big fan of brake dust, so if I can get good performance without the BIG FREAKING MESS that the stock pads make, that'd be great. 4. There is no question number 4. Thanks, Dave Hinz
