A little Auto Maintenance

   My friend that had the VW Beetle needed his brake pads replaced and an oil change.  The oil change was simple and standard, although getting the oil filter out of a Mazda6 is a pain in the rear.  We changed his front two, because those are the ones he said needed to be replaced.  I checked the back brakes and realized that on one side he had worn through the pad into the backing.  We had to replace the rotor on one side.  Not too big a deal, just a little more $$$.  It was fun, and didn't take but a few hours this weekend.  Always fun to teach someone else how to do their own maintenance.
