I've owned a '95, 4 cyl. pickup since 1997. It had approl. 15K at the time and now has approx 75K miles. I was rear-ended in this vehicle in the spring of 2001, am still greatly suffering from back and neck disk problems. Our pickup is a 5th vehicle and receives limited but regular use back and forth to Home Depot, etc. I plan on performing as much maintenance on this vehicle myself.

At the current time it is due for an oil change and I believe it needs a brake job. An oil change should not be any problem at all although I would greatly appreciate a step by step guide to go by. The brake job should also not be too complicated, but I may need a specialized tool or two plus a step by step guide. I plan on flushing out the old brake fluid at this time as well. I have not searched this forum for any of this info yet. If any of you can aim me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks, David
