How can i change my brakes?

my cars brakes are beyond bad. the brake light comes on with this red exclamation point every now and then. my boyfriend seems busy and i dont like to keep asking him to do things. i am pretty handy with cars(changing oil, filters, etc) and i wanted to know if it was hard work to do brake work. i DO NOT trust mechanincs, nor do i feel like paying the extra labor rate to have them do it for me. How can i do this?How can i change my brakes?depending on what kind of car and what set of brakes you are talking bout it is either simply to lil complicated if it is front disc brakes the procedure is simply jack up car remove front tire then you should see your caliper first thing i do is loosen up bleeder screw to make sure it turns then tighten it up do not pump brakes while bleeder screw is open then there are most likely bolts that hold the caliper on remove them and take the caliper off the rotor there is a hoses attached to the caliper do not take this off then depending on type of vehicle the pads will either be on the calipe or on a bracket note which is inside on and which is outside one take the inside one and use a c-clamp to compress the piston in the caliper open the bleeder screw once you have the c-clamp against the piston with the onld brake pad as a spacer to protect the piston and tighten the c-clamp untill the piston is fully seated and retighten the bleeder screw put new pads on the same way the old pads were on and reassembly using a little lithuim grease on contact points besure not to get any grease on oyur rotor and inspect the rotor for wear (grooves,pits or deep cracks) the repeat process on other wheel also take a minute and inspect your break hoses for anycracking if there are you will need to replace them

if you are talking bout rear brakes then it depends if it is rear dic or drum brakes rear disc breaks are basically the same as front except it requires a special tool to reseat the reat caliper piston the easiest way to tell is if you parking break cable is hooked up to your rear caliper then you need the tool

rear drum breaks are lil complicated and unless you have doon them befor would suggest you have some one who has there to help you do themHow can i change my brakes?uhhh take them off didididididididid......How can i change my brakes?what car you working with .

Good LuckHow can i change my brakes?my best advice to you is to go to autozone etc. get the repair manual for youre car and follow the instructions. because not all cars are the same and each book is vehicle specific. they are around $15 and are worth the investment if you plan on keeping the car and tackling other simple maintenance projects in the future. good luckHow can i change my brakes?First, are you willing to trust your own work when it comes to the safety of the people you carry and the rest of the motoring public. If the answer is yes, then the answer is also yes, it is hard work if you do not have the right tools to do the job right. You may need to have the rotors turned and that you cannot do. Best yet is that it is dirty work, dirtier than oil changes etc. Let the professionals do it and have piece of mind that if anything goes wrong, you have a warranty and have grounds for legal action. If you do it, you have satisfaction until it fails and you are sued. You chose your poison....Good luckHow can i change my brakes?are they disk or drum, both are easy, disk, remove wheel, remove caliper, open top of brake fluid resivoir, replace pads and put caliper back on, put the wheel back on, put the top back on resivior, dont drive away till you make sure they are seated, and no air is in them, you may have to bleed them, or add more fluid. you can also go get a chiltons manual from the library for your car, that will help.How can i change my brakes?More info required....make %26amp; model, front or rear brakes, are there any abnornal noises when applying brakes? is there any loss off brake fluid?How can i change my brakes?i dont knowHow can i change my brakes?where do you live mayby i could come and do them for you i live in kansas city
