One thing I want to learn how to do is the brakes because I just paid Just Brakes $500 to do all of mine because it was making this grinding metallic noise even when my foot wasn't on the brake and it was like that for 2 days! So next time I wanna do it myself, he said I should check it every 12,000 miles and I went 44,000 w/ out checking it so oh well!
Yeh...apartments need to provide a 4 car working garage to their residents free of charge..that would ROCK
Man....$500? NO FRIGGIN WAY!!! The parts cost you a MAX of $50.....the time it takes is about 1-2 hrs...depending on if you have done it before. Next time pay me $300 and i'll do it for you
I know right now the disk brakes are EASY!!! I have done those before. I have yet needed to change my rear drum brakes. I heard those are SLIGHTLY more complicated. But i'm not scared to dive in on those. I have a manual that slightly explains what needs to be done.
NEXT time you MUST change ur own brakes.
