Kaya, kung kaya. Pero, depende sa knowledge at skill level mo, sir.

Kaya din natin ang ginagawa ng mga mekaniko, yun nga lang, may training/pinag-aralan sila sa trabaho nila; tayo, usually, wala. Yun ang disadvantage natin...

Yung brakes, isa sa pinaka-essential na parte ng sasakyan iyan, at kung ako ang nasa lugar mo, hindi ko i-d-DIY iyan.

HTH...

Madali lang ba talaga? Sa tingin ko kasi, hindi, eh.

Ako kasi, iniiwan ko na lang sa aking trusted mechanic sa umaga. Pag-uwi ko sa hapon galing trabaho, gawa na. Php800 lang ang labor. Hindi pa ako nag-leave sa office.

Kung gagawin ko mag-isa, mas matagal, mahihirapan pa ako, walang gagawa nung trabaho ko sa office, bawas sa leave (which will definitely cost me more than the mechanic's labor fee). Kulang pa ako sa kagamitan. So for me, no DIY when it comes to brakes.

Saka sabi nga dun sa link na ibinigay ni userfriendly, "If you are unsure about how to perform any of the tasks involved in changing brake pads, stop immediately and consult a mechanic." I fall in this category. hehehe.

YMMV, I'm sure. Just my 2 cents... sharing the pros and cons...

madali lang i DIY kung babasahin, pero kung actual na siguro mukhang mahihirapan ako, lalo na at kulang kulang ako sa gamit.

Ikaw lang ang pwedeng makasagot sa tanong mo.

Only after trying will you know whether you have the knack for it or not. But have a competent mechanic check your work afterwards. For some people, it's better and fun to DIY, and for others it's more practical to let a mechanic do the work.

Just remember that a proper brake job is crucial. I'd rather have a car that wouldn't start than a car that wouldn't stop.
