The Pads and rotors, is there a difference in labor as oppose to standard brake chnge?!?! An extra step if you will especially for our MM!?!?

Changing pads and rotors is no different than on any other disk brake car. The only thing you need to be careful of is not letting the master cylinder run dry if you're bleeding. That can be an issue if you get air in the ABS controller solenoids.

^^When bleeding how would the master cylinder run dry?!? negligence as in just letting it bleed with out a cut off time or something different!?!?

Have you ever bled brakes before?

You have to replace the fluid in the master cylinder you remove from the system via each brake caliper. If you don't the system runs dry and you'll be in a world of hurt.......

^^Several times but in a Chrysler Sebring LXI, this'll be my first time for my Black Kannin so i'm just making sure before I start cranking. If there is really no difference then I'm good to go!!
