$1800 for brakes is BS. Is it a Porche/Jag/ferrari? Only way that makes any sense.

Well, l must apologize for misquoting the price. It was $475 for each axle instead of wheel. That still seems like a lot of money for rotors and pads. Maybe if they were replacing the calipers I could accept that.
First time working on a rear disc brake with the screw in calipers. I got a tool that fits in the indents on the piston and you use a ratchet to turn it in. That's a no go. Piston will turn and doesn't go in. Can't get enough inward force. So, large c-clamp and a pair of channel locks on the piston. I should have gotten the tool that applies force while you turn as it's hard to hold the caliper, the ratchet, push in with a lot of force and turn at the same time. Anyway 3 out of 4 done. And that's just exactly how many wheels where stuck on the hubs. AAA came out and did the first, he had a Harbor Freight 2lb dead blow hammer. So, I got one of them now as well. |

Brakes are a pain in the ass. Just having to do them is a pain in the. ASS.

I can't imagine having to change a tire somewhere and trying to get a stuck wheel off with the crappy jack that comes with a car. Must be why people have AAA. |
