Need help bleeding my brakes and checking my brake pads...anyone available sometime this long holiday weekend to lend me a hand?

 

hey dom you got it
fri am or sat anytime

 

Cool, thanks Mike.

I just found this thread over on Webb Motorsports on a brake blead how to.


I'll be sure I have all the proper tools and the brake fluid

 

Dom and Mike

Could I join you guys???? Mike maybe this would be a good time to do my pads, change fluid and do my sway bar. Dom.... where was Mike going to assist you.... at your house??? Let me know. I don't want to butt in but it might be fun to work on several cars at the same time. I will buy a break bleeding kit if you guys want. You know the kind that does not require someone pumping the brakes......

Let me know

Mark

 

>>Could I join you guys????

Yep Mark, you're more than welcome to join us!

We can do it at my house. Either Friday AM or anytime on Saturday works for me. How about you?

Pumping the brake mannually or with tool works for me. What ever you want to do Mark. The directions I have say to pump the brake pedal.

 

OK, date and time is set for 10AM on Saturday. Please let me know if I need to send you directions to my house.

 

Sounds like a party! If I'm awake, I'll stop by :smile:

 

Anyone know how to check for brake pad wear, specs, etc? Any special tools required to remove the pads?

Oh, can someone please bring a can of brake cleaner? Thanks.

 

should somebody bring a mini too

 

i know how to tell if they are worn. you shouldnt need any kind of cleaner though. ive never heard of anyone useing it.

 

hey dom how do i get to your house

 

good question, i was thinking of coming out too and using your jacks to rotate my tires...

- well, ihave one jack, all i need is another!

 

G'morning! I sent you an email with directions to my house.

 

cheers for hosting us Dom! had a fun time! got my tires rotated too! woohoo!

 

hey mark, how do you like the new sway bar and brake pads?

 

Hafid

The sway bar is great, as you know we set it on "firm". The difference is the rear is flat when you corner..... just as Mike C.

With regard to the brakes, the jury is out. They sing a bit and I do not like that. So I am not sure, maybe they will quiet down over time. I did break them in VERY well. I am sure the Moms dropping off kids at the school down the street from Dom's on Monday morning wondered what all the black marks were in the "drop off zone".

It was good to see you. Your car sounds great with the Borla.

Mark

 

Mike, thanks for coming over to help us all out!

Mark, how are you liking those new pads?
