scroll to the bottom of the same page and you'll see a link to Part 2.How hard is it to change all four brake pads on a 2005 nissan altima?I personally think brakes are important enough that owners should not DIY unless they watch it done properly a couple times first. New brake pads may not take the shape of worn rotor surfaces then they squeel and make noise. A proper brake job includes replacing the friction parts resurfacing the rotors and drums then %26quot;bedding in%26quot; where the brake pads are brought up to temp repeted hard stops. Then allowed to cool down. Many times it is best to have a brake fluid change preformed before pushing the caliper pistons inward driving dirty fluid back to the antilock brake pump and master CYL. Also Nissan Key Value pads installed at the dealer come with a one year warranty. Good Luck
