I had my mechanic change the brake pads and resurface the disk? on my car, I picked up the car?
from the shop yesterday and the brake light came on the dashboard, he did something and went off. Today I was on my way to work when the light came on again, what should i do, or how can i fix this?I had my mechanic change the brake pads and resurface the disk? on my car, I picked up the car?you reset it with a computer,take it back and make him fix it,free.
if your car has anti-lock brakes and he didn't open the bleeders on the calipers when he compressed them,that forced the fluid up to the ABS control and may have caused damage.
or just check the fluid level and tap on the side of the resevor,the float may be stuckI had my mechanic change the brake pads and resurface the disk? on my car, I picked up the car?what kind of car is it and if its a newer model there is a sensor on the brake caliper that needs to be reset through the computer of the car so take the car back to the mechanicI had my mechanic change the brake pads and resurface the disk? on my car, I picked up the car?take it back he didnt reset it right,I had my mechanic change the brake pads and resurface the disk? on my car, I picked up the car?bring the car back and have him clear the computer of the break fault ... you need to learn some about mechanics ... how many wheels did he do ... you should do a pair not one ....you do 2 or all 4 ... doing just one wheel will make the brakes stop un evenly ... you are talking about disk brakes ... a lot of cars have front discs and rear drum brakes .. they work and are repaired very differently ... Find out more about your car and the repairs will be easier and cheaper ... A mechanic who senses you know about cars will not try to rip you off selling you stuff you do not need ....

Have changed pads on other cars before. Is Fiesta an easy job and do you need specialist equipment?Ford Fiesta Mk4 - How to change brake pads?very easy and just diy tool kitFord Fiesta Mk4 - How to change brake pads?unjack the wheel.
unbolt the caliper.
pull off it off the disc - it will come.
rest the caliper on a support so it doesnt pull the brake pipe.
get a screw driver and hammer, tap the pads out from behind (they are accessable)
use a clamp (3 from focus/b%26amp;Q etc) to clamp the pistons in the caliper back so you can fit the new pads in AND get them back on the disc.
tap the new pads in (avoid tapping the actual brake pad part itself - use the edges.)

How much it cost (part & labor) to replace brake pads and rotors (front and back) on 1995 Acura Integra?
How much it cost on average?How much it cost (part %26amp; labor) to replace brake pads and rotors (front and back) on 1995 Acura Integra?Parts will vary greatly from one place to the other. Most brake jobs pay a book rate of 1hr on the front and 2hrs on the rear brakes. Depending on what the shops rate is, is how much you need to calculate for that. Some places like Firestone or Goodyear have set brake job rates... here is the catch with that... For 89.99 they will do the front axle, but then they are going to look at everything on your front axle and try to sale you everything you 'need'. So I suggest not to take it there if you dont know much about cars and there needs because they have a way of tlaking you into these things. Rotors front and back have different prices for type of rotor. They can vary from 29.99 all the way up to 99.99 for the nice expensive ones for racing and such. Bottom line I am trying to educate you on what to look for, no way to really give you a good estimate unless I can see what you have. You may be able to save some money and not get rotors. If they are still in spec. you can have them turned down to take any warpage, or flaw out. Then again You may run into some bearing problems and so on. no way to tell until looked at. hey good luck with your brakes....
By the way, If you brought it to my shop, it would most likely be around 350.00 to 400.00. Depending on what you wanted as in parts... That is for both front and rear @ 45.00 an hr. and the high side of parts....How much it cost (part %26amp; labor) to replace brake pads and rotors (front and back) on 1995 Acura Integra?I went into braketeam about a year and a half ago and i got my brakes done there for about $450 with new brake pads and they only resurfaced the rotors, but its always a good idea to give them a call first =D Do some shopping first.How much it cost (part %26amp; labor) to replace brake pads and rotors (front and back) on 1995 Acura Integra?depends on how good the parts and r u replacing or cutting discs? 125 to 175 per axelHow much it cost (part %26amp; labor) to replace brake pads and rotors (front and back) on 1995 Acura Integra?at retail my guess would be around$600 total

How much should I have to pay to get 2 front rotors replaced with front brake pads?
The car is a 1999 Ford Taurus SE 3.0 literHow much should I have to pay to get 2 front rotors replaced with front brake pads?depends on the quality and where you take it.
Quality parts at a decent shop will probably run about $350-500How much should I have to pay to get 2 front rotors replaced with front brake pads?It will be the cost of a brake job+the cost of the parts you want to use. Cost of the brakejob should be less than 1hour of shop time.
If you bring in your own parts you can save a ton of money.
Lookup parts at say rockauto.com:
There are cheaper parts and more expensive parts, but the difference isn't that much. The expensive part will still be cheaper then what the shop will charge you for a worse part. I personally would get the premium parts so I don't have to have the job done again
raysbestos premium rotors:
2x$43
pads:
akebono proacts
$60
tax and shipping $20.
labor with tax and shop fees around $80.
This should put you into a total around the $250 range.
This is just an estimate, you definitely have the option to pick out cheaper rotors ($20-$30 each) or cheaper pads ($30) and save a little bit there.

The front brake pads on my 2004 Honda Civic VP coupe need to be changed- is this difficult to do at home?
Apparently I have 5% left, but they're not squeaking or grinding in any way- how soon should I be worried about making this change?The front brake pads on my 2004 Honda Civic VP coupe need to be changed- is this difficult to do at home?You can do a brake job by yourself.
The process is pretty much the same for all vehciles. I've been refering people to this web site for Instructions on how to change brakes. Rob gives a good illustrations, and his web sit can be found here:
http://www.********.com/lessons/brakesho
Warning:
1. I would definitely recommend jack stands under a car, never do a brake job with just the car jack.
2. Always use a fixed size wrench, never use a cresent wrench as illustrated by Rob
3. Otherwise his instructions are pretty well written and can be found here.
Oh and he's replacing brake pads, not shoes as he has incorrectly called them from time to time. Shoe are for drum brakes, pads are for disk brakes.
Also it is recommended to get the rotor's thickness measured (to ensure they are not too thin) and resurfaced for best braking.
These instructions are of course for front brakes.The front brake pads on my 2004 Honda Civic VP coupe need to be changed- is this difficult to do at home?It isn't very hard to do but if you don't have any mechanical experience, then, i would let the profesionals do it. rather be safe then sorryThe front brake pads on my 2004 Honda Civic VP coupe need to be changed- is this difficult to do at home?Listen for a high-pitched squeal...that's the wear indicators. When you hear that, do 'em as soon as possible. If they get metal to metal, it's too late...you're looking a getting your rotors turned then. Shouldn't take but less than an hour to do 'em both. And use some anti-squeal stuff behind the pads when you install 'em.The front brake pads on my 2004 Honda Civic VP coupe need to be changed- is this difficult to do at home?The answer to your first question is: (survey says), not at all. This is a fairly simple task. Tools required: wheel caulk, floor jack, jack stand, drive ratchet, 14mm socket, a disk brake tool or a C clamp, and a tire iron or cross. To get started on this job park the car so it is on a slight incline. Set the parking brake and place wheel caulk(s) behind rear tire(s). Before raising vehical loosen lug nuts on both tires. Next place floor jack in front of vehical and slide under to the cars crossmember. This is a central main beam that craddles engine and supports suspension. Find at best its center and raise. Once in the air you might find that even though your dead center when you raised it one side is higher than the other, don't worry it will always be like that. Place jack stands at jacking points for your car. If you don't know where they are you can find it in your owners manual or a repair manual or I could just tell you. Right before the wheel well of the front tires you should see a lip that putrudes a bit more than the rest of the under siding. Thats your jack point. Remove lug nuts and tire. Next with your ratchet and 14mm you will need to remove two(2) bolts from the brake caliper. On the otherside of the calpier at each end are the bolts. These will take a little convincing to loosen the bolts. Before the bolts are removed find something the caliper can perch on. Do Not let the caliper just hang there by the brake hose. Remove old pads, inspect rotor for grooves, thickness should still be ok unless you do a good amount of hard braking. Next remove the cap to the brake fluid reservoir. Try not to leave cap off for too long for brake fluid is gyroscope. Meaning it absorbes moisture from the air. You shouldn't need to add any brake fluid. Next with a brake caliper tool or C clamp push the piston, (that cylintrical piece) back in making sure the boot telescopes uniformly back as well. You should notice the fluid in the reservoir rise as well. Next insert new pads and slip caliper over the rotor. Bolt back on and repeat on other side. Once you are done there shouldn't be any extra parts, the pads don't count as extra because you started with 4 new ones and now you have 4 old ones. Tighten reservoir cap and wa-la, done.
The answer to your second question is that disk brakes have there own timely reminder system. When they start to squeak is when they should be changed, or if you feel a hard grinding when applying the brakes. If your wondering how do pads do that well the ones you took off look at them. You see a popsicle stick size of metal that comes from the back of the pad but ends up on the side just a little. Thats your indicator. When metal rubs agaisnt metal it creates a squeaking sound and it gets louder and louder until replaced. So until your breaks start squeaking is when you should change them. Join me next week folks as we look at rocket engines and there muliple uses at home.The front brake pads on my 2004 Honda Civic VP coupe need to be changed- is this difficult to do at home?As others have said, changing your brake pads is pretty easy, if you've got any mechanical inclination. But make sure you do it on time - brake pads are cheap, but if you try to eke out every last mile from the pads, you could wreck your brake rotors - and fixing them is a lot harder than just replacing the pads.

I just changed my front brake pads and they don't work, what should i do?
I've bled them out 3 times, and they still don't work. Yes, I know how to bleed brakes out, but thats about as much as i know. Could it be something else that i need to do?I just changed my front brake pads and they don't work, what should i do?If the pedal's going to the floor, then their is air in the system, or master cylinder is faulty. If the brake pedal is solid, then you have a glaze on the rotors. The new style pads, Metallic, will not grab properly unless the rotor. is machined. Good luck..I just changed my front brake pads and they don't work, what should i do?if you %26quot;bled %26quot; them and you pulled air in the system....did you add fluid? Somethings missing here..I just changed my front brake pads and they don't work, what should i do?personally i would take it to a repair shop and see what they sayI just changed my front brake pads and they don't work, what should i do?New brakes need time to bed in, during this time they can feel slow to react and worse than before but they should stop the vehicle.I just changed my front brake pads and they don't work, what should i do?Please give us a bit more detail as to how the brakes don't work. Is your brake spongy? What happen if you 'pump' the brake?
I can take for grant that you know perfectly well as to how to bleed the brake. I am not going to comment on that.I just changed my front brake pads and they don't work, what should i do?is there any fluid some out or bleed screw if no check master and the diviner it on the line from the master cylinder the place you put brake fluid in .ie hosted control pets

How much does it cost to change the brake pads in my car?
I have a Nissan Altima '97. I think it's just the front brakes that need replacing... How much should it cost at the garage to change if I don't buy my own? I'm a youngish girl and I'm aware they try to rip us off... ugh. :(How much does it cost to change the brake pads in my car?Buy the pads and have a friend do the work. The rotors will have to be turned or replaced. A garage would cost about $250, but that doesn't include replacing the rotors (in most cases).How much does it cost to change the brake pads in my car?Go the dealership and buy your own genuine pads and rotors. Many modern cars are designed to replace the rotors when the pads wear down anyway. They engineer things like this to save weight. You can do this job yourself with a few hand tools. Use ALLDATA data base found in many libraries, or a Haynes manual for your specific car brand. Keep the old rotors, have them inspected for proper thickness, and have them turned for the next time you need brakes. They probably are too thin, anyway. If they are re-usable, coat them in grease and sotre in wax paper. Don't forget that you need to have your brake fluid changed every 2-3 years. READ your owner's manual to understand why. Brake fluid wears out, just like oil and trans fluid. WHen it goes bad, the acids in it eat away at brake seals. Once again, use only GENUINE NISSAN brake fluid.. Mixing different brake fluids together can cause severe component issues. Good luck!!How much does it cost to change the brake pads in my car?The front brake pads should only cost 25$ or around there if you buy them from autozone and do it yourself. A reasonable charge for a shop to do it is 40$ - 50$ . The people who charge over that price should go kill themselves.How much does it cost to change the brake pads in my car?usually in a shop they charge around 50 - 100 per wheel.brakes ae simple im sure you have atleast one guy friend around who can do them.

You might want to get a book on them but not recomended special tools are needed. sorry . But if you want to know remove rear calipers, rem. pads, use caliper tool to turn back piston into caliper. then install new pads and tighten calipers....sound easy its not I still remember my 1st set 20 yrs ago

How do i change the brake pads on my 2003 honda accord lx?
ive tried to do it myself but i cannot get the calipers to loosen is there some kind of special trick i dont know about?How do i change the brake pads on my 2003 honda accord lx?OK so I started to simply make some suggestions and it turned out to be close to an actual answer so I'm putting it here as well for Gino.
Honda front brake pads are easy to replace compared to many other types. If you have less than 50,000 miles on the car you should not be worrying about the front pads. Since you are we'll presume you drive a lot like I used to and the concern is valid. Don't let dealers try to get you to worry about such things so they can make a killing on a repair.
1) If you don't know where to start I would suggest going to your local auto parts supply (not the dealer!) such as Kragen, Shucks, Murray, Checker, or Advanced Auto Parts Stores. These are all owned by %26quot;Parts America%26quot; and the names are related to the area you live in. See their web site at www.partsamerica.com for the nearest location to you.
2) Get a Chilton's auto repair manual for your vehicle. It will provide you with the details on how to change your brake pads. It will also tell you how to inspect them (after you jack the car up take the wheel off)to see if they are in need of replacement.
3) If you decide to do this on your own, you will need some simple tools. First suggestion I tell my friends is before you start to do anything to remove the caliper is to turn the wheel a few times. When the car is stopped the front brakes tend to stay close to the wheel. If you don't know the air that is generated when the car is moving creates an air cushion that keeps the brake pads away from the rotor. By turning the wheel first you will loosen this enough to make it easier to do the job.
4) Second thing before you remove the caliper is to examine the disks. You will be able to see about 3/4 of the disk at a time because the caliper blocks your view. Because you turned the wheel before removing it you should be able to turn the disk grabbing the lug bolts that the wheel attached to. Please DO NOT touch the rotor with your hands. These need to be clean at all times. What you are looking for is to see if the rotors are worn and need replacing. Starting at the part closest to the hub follow the profile of the rotor surface to the outer most part. The surface should be smooth, have no discoloration, and with a 2003 vehicle there should be almost NO ridge at the outer edge (1/4 inch). I have a 2002 CR-V and there is no ridge on my rotors. My wifes '97 Accord has 84,000 miles on it and just a bit of a ridge; This is acceptable wear. (bye the way I didn't have to replace her brake pads until the car hit 70,000 miles.) If you see any significant ripples on the surfaces then you have spent too much time with your foot on the brake. If you have anything other than smooth rotors you should consider having someone qualified (with experience that is) work on it. Find a friend because %26quot;Turning the Rotors%26quot; requires knowledge and a machine shop is not a fun job nor anything to be taken lightly.
5) Gather the tools (Wrenches will be METRIC) and follow the instructions in the book to remove the rotors. Remember they are fairly heavy as they are made of cast iron for durability. They will remain attached to the car via the brake hose. DO NOT attempt to remove them, this would make a big mess and add to the cost. I do recommend you have a box like a milk carton crate and a couple of smaller items available to stack up as necessary to rest the caliper upon.
6) A large %26quot;C-Clamp%26quot; is always useful to push the %26quot;Puck%26quot; pack into the caliper. This must be done so that the thicker pads can fit between the caliper and the rotor. The C-Clamp will have to have an opening of at least 6 inches to be useful. Be careful not to place the c-clamp at an angle or you can jam the puck. I like to use a piece of 1/4 inch plywood across the entire puck surface and that way pressure is placed evenly around the puck as you gently tighten the clamp thus pressing the puck back into the caliper.
6) Make sure you DO NOT touch the face of the new pads with dirty hands or they will have a tendency to squeak. The dirt and/or oil from your hands should be removed prior to installing the pads into the caliper.
Chilton's books will provide you with a list of tools usually required to do the job and the specifications for your car. The pads should run between $40 and $75 depending upon where you live. The book will become your best friend if you intend to do maintenance of this type in the future so look at it as an investment in long term savings.

How long do brake pads last
I have an 05 Chev Aveo with 50Km (30K miles) on it, and im just curious, how long till I have to replace the pads?
How long do brake pads lastyou should have them check once a year for a safety inspection. they should let you know how they are doing. when they get low enough then you will not pass safety inspection. breaks last longer for freeway driving then around town. less use per mile. therefor we can not tell you how far or how long that they will last sorry.How long do brake pads lastIt really depends on how u drive. More city driving = more braking. Highway drive = less braking.
Usually the brakes will sound off if its low. U can hear the high pitch sound in the morning or when its cold when u brake. After awhile it doesn't sound anymore as its hot. That's the indication that its time to change your pads.
Its hard to judge on how long it will last as it depends on how u drive and places(city or highway) u drive often. And stock brake pad or any brake pads have different wear off rates from any other manufacturer due to the compounds on the pads.
Cheerz How long do brake pads lastwell it all depends how much you drive. Brake pads usually have an %26quot;indicator%26quot; when there low. the indicator makes a constant %26quot;squealing%26quot; noise while driving. that tells you your pads are low and need to be changed. by the mileage on the vehicle and guessing your pads have never been change it appears they should be coming to an end pretty soon.How long do brake pads lastit all depends on how you drive and what material the brake pads are check your owners manual it should have a list of service intervals.How long do brake pads lastDepending on how you drive.....any day now

How do you replace the rear brake pads on a GM W-body car?
Trying to replace rear brake pads on a 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme...How do you replace the rear brake pads on a GM W-body car?You must buy a rear-brake rotating tool. (I'm not sure of the technical name) It screws the pistons in instead of pushing them in. Make sure the pistons screw in freely and make sure the e-brake mechanism is functioning properly. These calipers are notorious for seizing and having e-brake problems, in turn causing accelerated wear. My honest opinion, if you must ask how to do it, you probably shouldn't be doing the brakes on your car. The 2 most important things on a car are tires and brakes. If you screw it up, you could end up killing poeple. Please seek professional help if there is any doubt as to what you doing. I know it cost more money, but safety is of the utmost importance.How do you replace the rear brake pads on a GM W-body car?they are diffrent from the front because the rear pistons are part of the emergency brake they have to be rotated back in to the caliper to make room for the new pads it takes a special tool, not like the front which are pushed in with a C clamp or caliper toolHow do you replace the rear brake pads on a GM W-body car?your best bet is to buy loaded calipers.
