Central Florida Brakes - need some help

Hey everyone,

My brake sensor just came on - so I'm thinking I need to replace my brake pads/senors. I'd just as soon take it somewhere to get fixed, but lately I've had this urge to do some of my own work on my car. Unfortunately though, I live in a highrise and have no tools or place to do work on it. Anyone in central florida want to help me change out my brakes on a saturday or sunday? I'll bring the beer! Also, if anyone has advice on a good set of brake pads (that don't get too dusty) I'd appreciate it. I have white wheels and they attract brake dust like a magnet. thanks!

I am in Apollo Beach and going to be doing the brake rotors and pads next weekend. You are welcome to stop by. Bring ATE, Pads, Rotors, Sensors if you like and diet orange sunkist.

Looks like a Florida roll call here!

I'm in Melbourne Beach and am starting to get the Brake Wear Indicator when I go through car washes. I suppose that it's either a short or I'm getting close to needing to do the pads myself. And maybe the rotors too, they have a bit of a lip on them now.

If you figure out any tricks or tips on changing out the pads and/or rotors, post 'em on here!

More likely an open when you go through the car wash. The light comes on when (a) connection is broken.
