It almost sounds like you have never worked on brakes b4? If that is the case, please do not attempt to do it yourself, its not something you want to fake your way through. |

You don't sound like you are ready to work on a part of your car that can get you killed. Brake work is not that expensive. Your life is worth whatever it cost.
