Front brakes pads

[szohar]

I was trying to check the the front wheels pads, I am not sure if I can check them without taking the wheels off.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Here's what you do..!!

have someone apply the brakes. Slide a stack of cards flat against the disc adding or subtracting as needed till they slide up to the pad. Though not the best way will give you a close idea....:thumbup:

If they've not been replaced in the 23,000 you have on it now, then its about time. Mine were long gone by then, and so was a friends '12 RT. Time for a trip to dealer.

Dealer

Unfortunately, I don't have a dealer around I trust and can get a good service, I am thinking to go to a dealer that is 126miles from me, I want to make sure I need the brakes to be replaced.

I have nearly 23,000 miles on mine and the front are fine!! Back was replaced a couple of weeks ago at about 22,000.
