About 30 minutes!! That does not include the time to go get the new pads,

Does the whole wheel assembly have to come off?

no just the arm that holds them in place it will allow the caliper to be moved to a spot where you can then pull it out

Do I order the brake pads from Thoroughbred?

Hi Gunny,

The pads for the front brakes that I used was from Auto Zone - DG606 - $29+tax or DGC606 – all hardware & grease - $45+tax they are ceramic. I have experienced very little brake dust with them.

Dean - good info! Suggest you post this to the Stallion Info sticky thread.

The original pads will most likely go 100K. I would not even think about changing them out until at least 80K.

There was a very extensive post titled "brakes front and rear" infor contributed by tomg in the Stallion forum. It gives all the info you need about the Stallion brakes. The only thing we have not figured out yet is other than the front caliber rebuild kits sold by Stallion what over kit will work. May not be any because the rumor is that the calibers are made just for the stallion even though they use a Toyota pad. Someone may come across that answer.

Gorilla,

I found that thread: it was actually started by you and is dated 6/20/2013. Perhaps that thread should be moved to the information sticky thread along with the one from Gunny dated 9/15/15.

The problem as I see it if you make a sticky out of one item then you end up with a bunch of stickies to look thru, and then people just search or ask, so you end up in the same place. I think I might add it to the maintenance sticky that is all ready there.
