Thanks - good info. This is AWD, with the wear appearing to be about the same on both sides in front, less in the rear. The rotors have lots of material left, but slight “grooving”, which bothers me a bit since we stopped using the vehicle as soon as we noticed noise from braking, and we had not used the vehicle much since we purchased it. It would seem that most pads no longer have (audible) wear indicators to give warning...

I have on numerous occasions used a breaker bar or just the proper wrench and placed them in a position pointing down as much as possible...Lay down and get your foot on the wrench while holding on to some part under the car...Some would be amazed at how much more power one has in his legs compared to his arms...I have broken loose many caliper bolts in this fashion...
