Your local auto store should carry them and they should only be about $20.

If it's your rear brakes and you pull the rotors MAKE SURE that you have the caliper retraction tool!!!!!! I just did mine last weekend and had to put the old brake pads back on b/c I couldn't get my calipers retracted (believe me I tried for hours and hours with needlenose pliers and some other "brake cube" tool that they sell at autozone). Speaking of which I have no idea why I haven't ordered that freakin' tool yet....

Does the Autozone tool not work? I got that and haven't used it yet.

I used the brake piston pusher from autozone and it worked fine. changing the brakes on the back is fairly simple, hardest part is turning the piston pusher...

I remember my moms old lumina had that same crap on hers and I turned and pushed and pushed and turned and nothing, so I just pressed them back into the caliper and she didn't have e-brake after that.
