Lets discuss getting New Brakes

[its....JOHN B]

direct tire, or a trusted local mechanic, my pops usually will do mine tho, changing brake pads seem pretty simple and easy to learn, you just need a c clamp, but my pops bleeds them the old fashioned way which you will need another person to pump the brake pedal 3 times and hold it then you turn the bleeder screw not even half way and let the air seep out, but if your by yourself theres a pressure pump you can hook up to your master cylinder thst will force the air out, never seen one used but I heard there easy and effective.

im not going to do it myself, im asking what its a good national spot to have them replaced at

You can check out a national chain like "just brakes" must cheaper than the dealership.

look into ceramic pads for lower noise and less brake dust.

you need a big ass c-clamp, bungee cords to hold the caliper up, most likely a 7mm box wrench, jack, jack stand, chock blocks and at the most an hour of free time.

I came here to post something along these lines. Personally, I use a length of speaker wire to hold the caliper up. Tie one end around the spring, the other through the caliper and get to work pushing that piston (or pistons depending on the car) back with the clamp.

Oh, if it's a chrysler, chances are that box wrench will be useless. Gotta run a T45, T50, or T55 torx to get the caliper off (can't remember which size it is, it's been a minute since I've had a chrysler).

sometimes brakes squeal just cause...doesn't mean their going bad....but have them checked anyway just to be safe

Hurry up and get them before you have to replace your rotars too.
