Sorry for the basic question, but my 97 2WD Hardbody seems to have brake problems. With other vehicles I've driven, worn pads/shoes made a sort of grinding noise when you applied the brakes. This truck is making an intermittent, slight grinding noise when I'm driving and not applying the brakes. If I gently pump the brakes a couple of times, it goes away. I can't tell if it's coming from front or back.

Is this a normal sign of worn pads/shoes (which seems likely; they're the original ones and the truck has 97K miles), or do I likely have another problem?

And if it's the pads/shoes, what are the chances of me and my Haynes manual replacing them ourselves?

Thanks for any help.
