Brakes
So my car hit 61k miles today and I need to do my front brakes, and maybe my back brakes. Does anyone know of a good guide on here to guide me through the front brakes or is it pretty easy? I have done brake work before. Also what is a good way to tell if I need to turn my rotors, I normally only do it when I start to feel vibrations in my steering wheel.

If you have serviced brakes before it shouldn't been too much different. I would turn rotors every time I replace pads if they are within spec. That way the pads will have a nice flat surface to bed in properly.
25 ft-lbs if youre tightening the bolt that goes into the caliper's sliding pin.
58 ft-lbs for the bolts holding the caliper to the steering knuckle.
For the rear, it's 18 ft-lbs and 40 ft-lbs respectively.
I'm sure you know already, but just take out one of the caliper's and swing the caliper out of the bracket. No need to remove the calipers from the knuckle.
