Last weekend, I replaced the rear brakes on my 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 pickup.

I’m living the dream!

I started Saturday around nine and finished Sunday around 2.  Yes, it took a long time.

Even though I watched many videos about changing brakes, I had to learn some things.  The caliper mounting bolts were frozen, and the brake pads threw me for a loop.

I felt an incredible sense of accomplishment and a touch of exhaustion on Sunday afternoon.  Being hyper-focused on brakes for a day and a half takes a toll.

I learned two valuable lessons over the weekend.

Focus on one thing at a time.

You can do anything you set your mind to.
