Re: brake replacement

The best way to know is to take off a wheel and see what fits. If you don't have any prior brake knowledge, I would suggest paying someone to do the job.

Re: brake replacement

Also, you'll get better specific information to your car if you post in the forum specific to your car. This particular forum is more for generic technical questions about cars, not specifics.

Re: brake replacement

I would strongly suggest getting a set of fitting wrenches (brake line wrenches some call them). Brakes can be a relatively easy job; HOWEVER if you are not familiar with mechanics, I would not attempt to repair them yourself. It is extremely important to have them done right.
