dont give up now!! think of what you've learned! and Posted by Saabu [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: brake work attempted, jp, Sat, 27 Mar 2004 16:55:24 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
think how easy it'll be next time.
Further, you probably have an idea of how to change the pads (but those u-brackets get old, rusted and stuck so have a hacksaw handy), so when they need replacing it'll be a cakewalk and you will save at least $400 by doing it yourself, and you can put new rotors on from a site sponsor for 50% or less of the cost the shop will charge you.
When your front brake calipers seize and you need new ones, you will know exactly how to get to the calipers and take them off and buy site sponsor remanned or new units for half the cost your shop will charge you.
once you've done that job, and later you need CV joints, you will learn how to undo the tie rod ends. Again, you will save literally $100's of dollars just on front end work! And i didnt even mention ball joints!!!
what you went thru was exasperating, but its a learning process. If you have the time to learn , you will have fun and save a ton of money, and GET THE JOB DONE RIGHT - by yourself!!!
Besides, you bought that jack, might as well use it!!!
