What else should I be looking at or for when I change the front brakes and rotors this weekend? That is the easy part. I am going to be having the rotors off and was looking for suggestions as to what else should be maintained. Truck has 185 K on it and the rotor assembly has never been off.
Thanks,
Brad

I think the 2nd Gen years of trucks/4Runners use servicable wheel bearings so obviously new wheel bearings and grease. Wheel bearings are often very cheap at any Pep Boys, but make sure they are the right size. Pep boys is 0 for 3, in giving me the right size bearings. New brake fluid is also good, clean the rear brakes with a brake cleaner and adjust them is also good.

Then sending me $100 is even better!

At the very least I'd repack the bearings and replace the seals.

Oh ya forgot about that, NEVER reuse old grease seals.

You may want to flush the brakes while you are working on it.
