2nd gen disc brakes
15 months ago I replaced the entire front brake setup on my runner (lines, pads, calipers, rotors). I went in yesterday (same company different store) with a low speed brake squeel (figured some sand got up in there). They did a brake inspection and told me I needed new front pads w/ the spring assembly (as it had broken) and of course their warranty was up 3 months ago. With a fluid flush, they quoted me $325.
I looked around a bit and didn't find anything about replacing the spring assembly online. How tough would it be to throw them in in my driveway, and anyone know if the hardware is available seperately?
Thanks

having done my front brake pads about 3 wks ago, you remove the retaining spring, spring clip, tap out the two pins, slide out the old pads, press the pistons back into the caliper, then reverse the process. should be no need to bleed as you did not remove the lines. as waskilly said, chiltons or haynes will have all the info if you want to rebuild.
