I broke the brake line and now when I slam on the brakes my car slides and the rear kicks out wildly. We broke the brake line to get the rear pads to fit over the rotor.

I just swapped out the front brakes back to OEM to see if it was the cheap duralast pads but I would like to bleed the brakes too, since I release some of the pressure out of the line.
I can do it but not explain it well. Basically just keep the bleeder nipple in a container of break fluid when ever you open it. You should be able to fit a hose over the nipple and still be able to put a end wrench on it. Keep your reservoir full at all times also. There are several ways to do this and a inexpensive kit used to be sold in the parts houses. You should always turn your disks and match your pads or you will have a pulling problem. Willing to help if you can wait until I get back from vacation on the 9th.

yeah they will probably tell you that so it could sound like there doing more labor. but i dont know anyone that i worked with ever bleed the brakes when doing a standard brake service. but what i know is that everytime you swap the pads we always resuface the rotors.

Thanks MIA!

Why would you get rid of your 8? 8's are sexy and people know it. Just around the corner from my job, some guy use to park a Lexus there. Then he got rims like mine but with a red lip. Now a blue 8 parks there gawd more clones?

Let's see what is undone before I leave on vacation..........................

1. Anthony, the poles are growing roots FYI they are inside the side gate near my front door. The gate is locked but you can reach thru far enough to get them.

2. AJ, the map!!!! When I get back I'll contact you and we will pre run the course for the Vegas meet.

I think that is all for now. Leaving Tomorrow late afternoon if I have wifi where I am going I'll post if not look for smoke signals.
