Anyone in So. Cali wanna help me change my brake pads? I dont want freaking Pep-Boys to steal $190 from me just to change em. They said they dont even carry the Raybestoes(sp) pads.

I live in Yorba Linda, CA (In Orange County off the 91 freeway)

 

manyou are completely helplesshahaha. i take my car to people to do that .......

 

LoL Vince, Im not gonna pay Pep-Boys to change my brakepads with the dealer's brakes (they told me that they have to order brakepads from the mitsu dealer, which means they put OEM brakes in). I might as well go straight to the stealership to do it. Anyone wanna offer their help? Imma be changing my spark plugs too. HELP?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I can help you but I won't do the work for you!!

 

Lol, but I want someone to do it for me!!!! *throws a hissy fit*

Im j/k, i just need a helping hand so that I dont f*** anything up. After all, brakes ARE The 2nd most important things in the car after the engine. Imma be doin it @ my house, so i need someone able to drive to Chez Moi. (My house in french)

 

Where do you live?? Do you have the pads already and do you have tools, floorjack and jack stands etc......?

 

I live in yorba linda, off of the 91 freeway (The exit is Yorba Linda Blvd. off the 91 fwy). I will be getting the pads tomorrow, I have a floorjack and jackstands. I have pretty much all the tools needed to work on cars, except for an impact wrench.

 

do you have an air compressor?

 

Wow, Yorba LInda is kinda far from me.......I live in Culver City next to Santa Monica.

Anyways, what are the times you are free? I am free only on weekdays 11am to 3pm......

BTW: Impact wrench isn't needed for this job. Oh, you might also want to invest on some bleeders as you will need to bleed your brakes after putting on the pads. If you want I have some that I can sell you $15 a pair. Its a self bleeder kit so bleeding the brakes becomes a one man job. The company is Speedbleeders.

 

oh for christ sake get the penny saver and find the add for the brake jobs for $49 plus pads and go there.
