how important is torquing bolts 😂 cuz thinking of buying basic tools and doing some work on my own but idk how expensive these torque things are or should i get them too instantly

[@mikes.garage]

@@trapea8324 very important, specially when you don’t have experience. Better buy them if planning to be mechanic, or you can rent it, if you need it for one time.

[@SargentPeppercorn]

How long did this take you to do for one corner Mike (or how long for all 4 wheels)?

[@mikes.garage]

Front pads and discs about 1-1.5 hours and the same for the rear brakes. It all depends on what condition the car is in. Sometimes there may be less time.
