- Water-BugExplorer IIAn '08 is going on 7 years old. How much winter driving have you done? That Michigan road salt can eat rotors, springs, clips, calipers and brake lines. Tearing things apart for service can put an end to their safe service life. Auto/truck manufacturers have pretty much solved the rustbelt issues with body parts but not so much for underbody components. Pricing that you receive from southerners may not be accurate for your situation.
- Roger10378Explorer IIYou might get better info if you post on Motor Home not fifth wheel
- Me_AgainExplorer IIIIt will mostly be 500-1000 dollars. IF they are grinding that is not a good indication that the rotors will not be able to be turned.
I had to have my Dodge 4x4 front brakes worked on while in Yuma for a week. It was 461 bucks for removing and turning rotors, new calipers, new brake lines(Dodge is noted for them failing internally), and complete fluid change. The pads that I had recently put in were reused.
They need to inspect your rear brakes carefully also. On a MH most of the braking is not from the front like a pickup or car, so it may be 1000-2000 to do both ends.
Chris - Dave_H_MExplorer III don't have any problems with hsaving rotors turned if they will stil meet thickness spec.
If you can do the SUV, I would think you would have no problem doing the MoHo - probably significantly heavier. - TodduptonExplorer$100 sounds about right for parts.

Hundred bucks DIY, 500 to pay some kid to do it.
Yer kidding, right? 100 bucks probably wouldn't buy one rotor for that beast. Heck it cost me more than $100 for me to do brakes on my SUV. My guess would be closer to $500 just for the parts to DIY. - donn0128Explorer IIHundred bucks DIY, 500 to pay some kid to do it.
