I have a front wheel drive Mitsubishi 380. No too long ago the rear left wheel hit a curb quite hard. The wheel itself survived but now there is a loud squeaking noise coming from the rear wheel. The noise gets quite loud and only lessens as I apply the brakes. Even while driving slowly the squeaking occurs. Also, if I havent driven the car overnight or for a few hours it takes a bit of time for the squeaking to start. I have had a full wheel alignment done and they could not see what was causing the noise. From what I know it's most likely a damaged wheel bearing that is causing the problem but can anyone else suggest what else it could be and how much roughly repair would cost? I have also have the brake pads changed as I thought it couldbe contributing to the squeaking recently but the noise it still there just as before.
ThanksRear wheel took a hit and now squeaks quite loud when I'm driving, except when brake is applied.?it sounds like a bearing but could be the hub itself suggest you get the mechanic to look at it and give you a written estimate for the repairRear wheel took a hit and now squeaks quite loud when I'm driving, except when brake is applied.?it could be a wheel bearing or you broke something on the shoes.Rear wheel took a hit and now squeaks quite loud when I'm driving, except when brake is applied.?Im afraid it is a wheel bearing, I have changed a front bearing by removing the hub assembly and removing the axle nut, then I had to take the hub to have the bearing pressed out, 2hours labor in a shop and a $40 bearing, roughly $220 if I had had it done in a shop

Do you have to disconnect the parking brake?
When changing rear pads, do you need to disconnect the parking break to compress the piston? if so How do you diconnect the parking break when changing rear pads? I am in really big need. Thank you for your help.Do you have to disconnect the parking brake?what kinda of car is it? you don't usually have to diconnect the parking break to do the rear pads. On some cars like VW's you have to twist the caliper piston while pushing it back in because when the parking break is appiled it twists the caliper piston out to hold the car. They do make a special tool for this it is available at NAPA. Sometime thought they can be a little hard to get pushed back.Do you have to disconnect the parking brake?Check right at the parking brake handle in the car. What kind of car would have told me what kind of brake mechanism you have. If it is one where you lift it up, then there should be adjusting screws at the base of the handle. Back the nuts right off. If no understand then visit local library to view pictures in a repair manual or peruse a store to do the same....for you will have to reset them back up for everything to be good to go.Do you have to disconnect the parking brake?Need to know the year, make and model. On some vehicles, yes. For help, try www.auto zone.com/servlet/ui broker

I have a problem with my rear brakes on the passenger side caliper gets too hot and my pads are wearing quick?
how can i reduce the the extra wearing on my pads and my caliper from getting to hot i have bled my brakes i have no problems with the other side rear. this problem has only occured since i changed discs and pads.I have a problem with my rear brakes on the passenger side caliper gets too hot and my pads are wearing quick?Sticky caliper a lot of people use copper grease on their calipers which can actually cause them to seize sometimes. There is a new lubricant avaliable it comes in small tubes its made by mintex and called cera tex any autoshop that stock mintex pads will be able to supply you with this.I have a problem with my rear brakes on the passenger side caliper gets too hot and my pads are wearing quick?The slider pins are probably stuck, hence why they are getting hot and not %26quot;releasing%26quot;. Since the brakes only push from the piston side, if the caliper pins arent lubed, it will only push on that side. Sometimes they move and get stuck and dont release, sounds like it here. Dont use WD-40. Use silicone grease. It wont dry up and mixes with whatever else has been put in there before.
Take a rat tail file and clean the inside where the slider pins go and rinse with brake kleen. Blow out and re-grease. Be sure to get all the rust off. Do this every time you change your brakes.I have a problem with my rear brakes on the passenger side caliper gets too hot and my pads are wearing quick?the only fix is a new caliper.I have a problem with my rear brakes on the passenger side caliper gets too hot and my pads are wearing quick?Sticky caliper. The discs are not kicking the pads off.
Take it off again, remove the pads and gently peel back the rubber dust covers on the pistons. Now add a SMALL squirt of WD 40 to the pistons. (DON'T GO MAD. WD 40 %26amp; brakes are not a good mix) Depress the brake pedal to move the piston out then force the piston back in. Repeat until everything running smoothly.I have a problem with my rear brakes on the passenger side caliper gets too hot and my pads are wearing quick?Definitely a sticky caliper.
My advice would be to fix it right, rather than any 'quick-easy-cheap' repair, but I may be just a little 'over the top' when it comes to brakes or steering.
Calipers aren't that expensive and don't do just the one side. Do everything with brakes in at least pairs. Replace both rear calipers.I have a problem with my rear brakes on the passenger side caliper gets too hot and my pads are wearing quick?You did not state what type of car or how many miles, but you probably need to either lube your caliper slides or replace the caliper.

Brake caliper is stuck how does this happen?
I changed my friends rear brake pads and did everything like i always do c-claped the piston in and the caliper still didnt fit back on with the new pads finaly i was able to squeeze it back on but now his brakes stick. the mechanic told him the caliper needed to be change and he thinks i screwed it up and im not sure....so my question is did i brake it putting the brakes on or was it a bad caliper to begin with. also the pad on that side was down to the metal and the other side was only 50% worn
thanksBrake caliper is stuck how does this happen?if the brake pads were completely wore down on that calipers side and the other side wasn't as bad you definately have a bad caliper, replace it, I would also have the brake fluid flushed out of the system as it sounds like there is contamination in it and thats what probably caused the caliper to go bad.Brake caliper is stuck how does this happen?Yep, what mfrommel said.Brake caliper is stuck how does this happen?On many rear brake calipers you can not simply push the pistons in with a C-clamp. Because they parking brake is usually part of the rear caliper your need to turn the pistons while you press them in. If you don't you will wreck the caliper.
Otherwise, the piston failed (happens all the time) and the caliper should be replaced.Brake caliper is stuck how does this happen?You didnt say what vehicle your working on,on some rear caliper set ups have the handbrake actuator behind the piston.This means as someones already said the piston has to be screwed back into the caliper,there are different set ups,some have automatic handbrake adjuster situated behind the piston,these can be tricky as they sometimes stick and you have to strip the calipers to gain access to release them.Im not saying its rocket science but make sure you know whats what before messing around with brakes.Brake caliper is stuck how does this happen?the pads should have equal wear so the caliper was probably messed up b4 you touched itBrake caliper is stuck how does this happen?you didnt break it andy. what goes wrong with calipers, is dirt gets inside the piston and the piston cant work very good, also the slides on the caliper and where the caliper rides needs to be clean and use some high temperature grease on then, just a little bit of grease will work.Brake caliper is stuck how does this happen?You do know most cars today the caliper pistons need to be compressed by means of screwing them back into the cavity right? And if they don't fit on without almost forcing it it will seize and ruin the seals in the caliper with the heat. Sorry, Just a tid bit of info. For some still work the old fashion way with a c-clamp. Make sure you read up on the vehicle before starting best way to cover your butt lol. Maybe take a short course sounds like the makings of a good mechanic.

Brake rotors for a 2006 Dodge Ram 4x4 Quad Cab SLT?
I had new ones put on about 2 months ago because they were warped. I did not change the brake pads at that time because they looked good. Well, after these two months I have the same vibration when braking. How hard is it to replace the rotors myself when I replace the pads? I have done pads before and they are not that hard, but never attempted the rotors before? Too difficult compared to replacing the pads?
Also, on my truck, are there rear brake pads? If so should I replace all 4 at the same time?
Thanks!!Brake rotors for a 2006 Dodge Ram 4x4 Quad Cab SLT?you should never replace rotors and not replace the pads because if the rotors are warped then this means the pads are worn off uneven ,so now you will have to replace the pads and get the rotors turned and hope that repairs the problem,you should do the front as a set and the rear as a set,and you should have 4 wheel disc brakes on that one,look to be sure though,good luck.Brake rotors for a 2006 Dodge Ram 4x4 Quad Cab SLT?wel if you can replace pads you can pretty much handle any part of brake system you can find a how to by typing

When you rotate the piston to get it to retract, you don't need the special tool. I just use a decent sized needle nosed pliers and stick the tips into the notches. And I have the special tool!
Also, you may notice that the inner pad has a knob on the back. The piston should be rotated all the way in, and then back out just enough so that the knob fits in one of the notches. I guess Chilton's forgot to mention that! :-)

How do I change the rear disc brakes on a ford focus st170 52 plate?
Hi I have changed the front disc and pads on my ford focus st170 but the back are a nightmare I gather I have to somehow adjust the cylinder back (that looks like a castle) but after turning it and turning it I am not getting anywhere does anyone here know how to do it?How do I change the rear disc brakes on a ford focus st170 52 plate?you need a tool to do this properly, its like a mini threaded press that forces piston back as it winds.if you try using molegrips or similar you usually end up damaging the piston seal and then after a while it will start to stick,
you can buy this tool for about 20, halfords or somewhere, aslo fits a few other makes too. if you dont lay out money for it then it will cost you more if youre pistons seize up.
basically you need to force piston back at the same time as you turn it,( clockwise)How do I change the rear disc brakes on a ford focus st170 52 plate?The rear calliper pistons screw back in but they are left had threaded so you need to turn them the %26quot;wrong%26quot; way to get them back in.While your turning them put thumb pressure on the centre of the piston to get it going back in Once its fully back in and slipping over the brake pads turn it out again until it just grips the pads.

Does anyone know how to change the rear brakes on a Nissan Maxima 1996?
having 2 issues
1. the rotor does not want to come off its like its stuck cuse its rusted.
2. how do i push the cylinder back for the new pads cause i opened the nut on the flex hoze to release presure so it can move back.
Any IdeasDoes anyone know how to change the rear brakes on a Nissan Maxima 1996?Not to familiar with foreign autos but I'll give it a shot. If your Maxima is front wheel drive the rear rotor probably has a wheel bearing in it that is held with a large nut which has to be removed to remove the rotor.

1. the rotor does not want to come off its like its stuck cuse its rusted.
2. how do i push the cylinder back for the new pads cause i opened the nut on the flex hoze to release presure so it can move back.
Any IdeasDoes anyone know how to change the rear brakes on a Nissan Maxima 1996?Not to familiar with foreign autos but I'll give it a shot. If your Maxima is front wheel drive the rear rotor probably has a wheel bearing in it that is held with a large nut which has to be removed to remove the rotor. Use a C-clamp to press the %26quot;puck%26quot; back into the caliper so new pads can be installed.

Rear Brake Problems on '96 Nissan 240SX?
The rear passenger side brake has been grinding for a while now. I replaced the pads and that didn't fix it. I talked to a mechanic about it and he said it could be that the brakes are not gripping on both sides evenly and rubbing as I drive. Which sounds right to me. When I changed the brake pads the inside( the backside of the rotor), it was down to metal and the front side still had pad left. What is this and how much $ and problem will it be for a rookie shadetree mechanic to fix. If I can get away with NOT changing the calipers too I would rather not because they are about $50 each.Rear Brake Problems on '96 Nissan 240SX?you need new calipers , you just have to suckit up and replace them , make sure the replacements come with the mouts and slidesRear Brake Problems on '96 Nissan 240SX?First you need to see if the rotors are damaged or warped. sometime they can be saved by machining If not they may need to be replaced. If OK then check to see if calipers are working correctly, specifically if engaging the rotor when brake is applied. Also check to insure emergency brake is working and or not interfering.
Cbr f4 rear brake caliper problem?
i have a 1999 cbr f4 i changed the brake pads in the front and they work fine the problem i am having is with the rear caliper no matter how many times i pump and bleed them they dont compress the calipers seem to be stuck what should i doCbr f4 rear brake caliper problem?Maybe hold the brake pedal down with something and undo the reservoir top. Leave it overnight and any bubbles present that won't bleed through will exit the system via the open cap.
If this doesn't help take the caliper off and check the piston is actually moving when the pedal is pressed. Without pads it should be possible to pump the piston right out of the caliper, but stop before this happens. Clean the piston with WD40, push it back, then see if it moves out easier than before when the pedal is pressed.Cbr f4 rear brake caliper problem?Have you tried taking the caliper off and holding it so the hose has a gradual upward slope to the caliper so the air can travel up to the caliper and then be pumped out. Don't hold the bleed nipple higher than the bottom of the reservoir or it will flow backwards. Try gravity bleeding it rather than pumping it first, keep the fluid topped up, if air goes in due to low level, you will have to start all over again. It may be that your caliper piston is stuck, did it go back smoothly when you fitted the pads? Good luck.

The brake disc and pads on my golf4?
I went for oil change today,at the service and the guy called me up an hour later to tell me that my brake pads and disc need changing,i must say i don't really know about brakes,but after talking 10 min,iv asked how much it would cost,he said additional 500,is that not too much guys?500 for changing front pads and rear?The brake disc and pads on my golf4?you can change the pads yourself for about $50 US (Maybe 25 or so in the UK). Not knowing labor charges, I had my daughters done here in the US for $150 and that included a new caliper assembly.
500 pounds is like $1000 in the US and that is way way too much.
Get another estimate and never use that rip off artist again.The brake disc and pads on my golf4?if he's just changing the pads and rotors, He could be ripping you ioff. But the then again, it is a volkjswagen and thhose cars expensive to repair here in north america. But you seem to be in britain, so yea, he's ripping you off. I suggest you find another mechanic to do the job. should only cost you 200 dollars.friendship losses love girls myspace

Rear brake pads!!!?
how to push piston in its bore? should i use special tool or can rotate it? if rotate it ,wich way? and its so impotant to unplug parking cable? any good triks how to change em? i have mazda 626,rotors disks, abs,automatic. thanks.Rear brake pads!!!?c-clamp. i use a 12%26quot; one. just loosen the cap of your brake fluid reservoir. you don't need to push the piston in more than 1/4%26quot;, unless you are putting in new rotors. then it might be 3/8%26quot;. it's not rocket science. just push them in a bit so that you can get the calipers off.Rear brake pads!!!?Use a big %26quot;C%26quot; clamp. Apply slow %26amp; steady pressure %26amp; it will back up into its bore. Do NOT rotate the piston. Make sure everything is clean %26amp; in proper operation.Rear brake pads!!!?you could use a special tool, but also a c clamp will do the job. or before you take the pads off while its still on the rotor use a screw driver to push the caliper back. make sure you open the master cylinder because your going to push the fluid back when the caliper is being pushed in. so put a rag around the master cylinder. hope this helpsRear brake pads!!!?you can buy a universal %26quot;special tool%26quot; at any automotive parts store for about five dollars. the whole c-clamp thing is also a good idea. first check to see if the piston is a twist in or push in style.twist in styles will have sort of a flat surface with a few small pieces sticking out(for special tool) and a push in style is a hollow piston,(kinda like a cup) It will not hurt if you turn the piston even if it is a push in style. I have been a master certified ASE mechanic for years. Lisence#M241654
How to change front and rear brakes on '07 Yukon Denali?
How bad is a brake job (pads and rotors) on a 2007 GMC Yukon Denali... I got a quote for $1100 but I can buy the pads and rotors for $288 and do them myself, its been a few years since ive done brakes on my own and ive never done a dual piston setup, anything special? anyone memorize enough to give me a step by step? thanks!How to change front and rear brakes on '07 Yukon Denali?Nah nothing special, take the wheel off, take the caliper off, remove the old brake pads, remove the caliper braket.. now the hard part is to take the rotor off cuz it might be rusty and wont come off that easy... if there 2 screws then use an impact screw driver to get them off, if there are 2 holes, then you just need 2 get 2 bolts and screw them in to push the rotor out... then use a C-Clamp to push the pistons back in so that you can put it over the new pads, have funHow to change front and rear brakes on '07 Yukon Denali?way to high

How to change rear brakes\rotors on 2002 chevy trailblazer?
Well I changed the front with no problems and it has helped allot. But I still hear allot of squealing from the rear and even sounds like a pad or something is dragging. I took a quick look without taking the wheel off and it looks really similar to the front. Being a 4wd would this be the case? Anything special? I will see if the auto place has a manual on this vehicle, but I do not think so as I looked online and it stops at 2000.
Thanks againHow to change rear brakes\rotors on 2002 chevy trailblazer?The trailblazer is straight forward. It's the identical method like the front, with the exception that it used the inside hub of the rotor as the drum for the parking brake. Take off the 2 caliper bolts and slide the caliper off the rotor. Grab the rotor and slide it off. There is no bridge to remove. The caliper piston is reset by compressing it, like the fronts. If you are going to replace the pads, it would be a good idea to replace the park brake shoes and hold down hardware as well.how to datagrid upgrade system memory

How much do Audi brake pads cost and rotors?
I have a 2006 Audi A4 quattro. I took the car to the dealership and they want me to change the rotors, as well. I only have 27000 miles on the car. Do the rotors have to be changed. The dealer does not resurface the rotors so they would rather change them out altogether. The dealer wants $760 for front brakes, front rotors, and changing the rear pads only. Is that too much, and should I get an estimate from a private shop, like firestone?How much do Audi brake pads cost and rotors?Call your local autoparts store like Advance,AutoZone,etc.

Audi's were designed to have repeated safe stops at Autobahn speeds. In this country, where excessive speed is unlawful, European brake systems usually last twice as long. Front brakes usually 50-60,000 miles; rear brakes, 90-100,000 miles. Never use anything but genuine Audi parts in your brake system(don't go to Firestone and use aftermarket anything parts) The only exception are the brake pads made in Australia that leave no brake dust. Have your dealership prove to you that you have premature wear in your brake system, it should still be under warranty. Have your brake system examined at a brake shop for a second opinion, but don't let them bastardize your fine car with non OEM parts, you'll be sorry in the long run. If your brakes are wearing this soon, are you a %26quot;two-foot%26quot; driver??This will eventually cause premature wear in any car.Good Luck!How much do Audi brake pads cost and rotors?use only audi OEM parts. plus you need a special tool on the rears. the price sounds correct but make sure they check the front rotors again and ask them if they are in spec. i dont think they would be bad after 27,000 miles so make sure they measure it and tell you.

How effective is brake squeal spray?
I replaced the rear brake pads on my car not too long ago with some inexpensive pads. The brakes didn't squeal before i changed the pads but they do now and i attribute this to the cheap pads. Will brake squeal spray be a good inexpensive temporary fix?How effective is brake squeal spray?just spray them out with water all it does is remove the dust but they will probably squeal again and this in not the cheap pads it normally happens when you don't reseal the little this piece of metal that distributes to pressure of the caliper to the pad and it wiggles causing your squealHow effective is brake squeal spray?I've never seen any spray that is anything other than a cleaner or solvent. I wouldn't spray anything on the brakes. It may work for a little while, but how often are you going to remove your drums to gain access? A better solution would be to remove the shoes one more time and have a machine shop cut either a few shallow chamfered groves across each brake shoe, or one long chamfered groove along ( the long way) each shoe. Not too deep or the shoe may cause problems by falling apart. A good shop knows how to do this. Don't buy junk. For the price of 2 cans of that stupid spray, you could have bought a high quality shoe.How effective is brake squeal spray?The squeal is due to vibration. Are these discs? then you need to put the spray on the back of the pads, not on the surface that contacts the rotor.How effective is brake squeal spray?yeah, anti squeal is good. but you have to take the pads off again to properly put it on.

I need to figure out how to change the rear and front brake pads on my 1994 acura integra???? Can someone help please??How do i change the brakes on a 1994 acura integra?First you'll need a caliper tool. It looks like a little box. You can attach it to a rachet and use it to back off the calipers. You can pick it up a the parts store where you get your brake pads.
Then you remove the wheels, use the tool to back off the caliper, remove old pads, put in new ones.

Changing rear Rotors and pads. Will I have to change/remove bearings???
I have a 2000 firebird (v6) warped rear disc brakes. Also, how important is it to bleed the brakes. On my 90's camaro I never bled them and never had a problem. Please help me out.Changing rear Rotors and pads. Will I have to change/remove bearings???no the rotors should come right off. if you don't open up the hydraulic part of the brake system you shouldn't have to bleed them.Changing rear Rotors and pads. Will I have to change/remove bearings???Damn!! I should know this answer, I learned it in class today. My guess is since your replacing the pads and rotors you might as well replace the bearings, I think you have to replace the bearings every 30,000 miles.Changing rear Rotors and pads. Will I have to change/remove bearings???normally, I clean them and inspect them .any, I say any ,mark I replace them ,otherwise they are good. re grease them(repack) and install them.Changing rear Rotors and pads. Will I have to change/remove bearings???no, no bearing removal is required, but check for lateral movement, and as far a brakes go no bleeding is not required unless you breach the system,Changing rear Rotors and pads. Will I have to change/remove bearings???once you get the brake calipers off the rotors will come right off, you won't have to remove any bearings. The brake fluid should by all rights be flushed out every couple of years as moisture gets into the brake system and can cause havock with the ABS system.Changing rear Rotors and pads. Will I have to change/remove bearings???basically speaking.. u should not have to replace the bearing on a rear disc brake assembly, it depends on if u have a top hat design or integral design.. if u have top hat then u just pull off the rotor and replace the rotor and put on the caliper and wheel and such.. also.. bleeding your brakes is very important because your brakes absorb water because they are hygroscopic.Changing rear Rotors and pads. Will I have to change/remove bearings???no...you will not need to change wheel bearings....although if you are going to have the rotors off anyway, you may want to. your brakes should not have to be bled after replacing rotors and pads.Changing rear Rotors and pads. Will I have to change/remove bearings???You will have to remove the bearing to get the rotor off.Pack the bearing with grease before you put them back.You shouldnt have to bleed the brakes.Changing rear Rotors and pads. Will I have to change/remove bearings???on gm the bearing is seperate from the disc.just change the pads and rotors,like you would do on the front.Changing rear Rotors and pads. Will I have to change/remove bearings???No. you don't need to replace them. The bearing almost never goes bad and usually last the lifetime of your car. Replace it if you hear noise from it, like it is not lubricated. Bled the brake only if you remove the tube that goes to the wheel and you lost some oil (on the floor). Usually, to replace a brake, do not unscrew the oil pipe. Before you remove the rotor, insert a crew driver between the pads and push the piston inside the caliper. The pads came loose and with enough space to insert a new ones.Changing rear Rotors and pads. Will I have to change/remove bearings???A fire bird is rear wheel drive, so you would have to take apart the rearend and remove the axels to replace the bearings. So, you just need to leave that alone. The brakes are pretty straight forward. Pull off the rotors and slide new ones on. rear calipers usually need to be turned in, not pushed in like front calipers. look at your piston face ( the part that pushes on the pad) You should see 2 to 4 indents on the outer edge. these are engaged by a special tool used to turn them in. I've used channel locks as a last resort. Be careful not to rip the boots. You can probably rent a rear piston pusher at autozone. If you dont open the brake line you will not need to bleed them, but it is a good idea to bleed out the old fluid once in awhile to keep it fresh because it does absorb moisture from the air.
03 Altima 2.5s brake pad change?
im gonna get down to the point, I need to replace my wifes brake pads on her altima rear brakes, lol :( she has worn them down to the metal, and is not driving the car until i get them fixed, how do i fix them? I mean where is a good tutorial video that I can get to show me, also I dont think it would be hard because your just changing the brake pads thats it!!! And its not like its hard to get to them, my friend has replaced them before, I would just like to know what tools I need and a great video or link to show me how to do it, thanks everybody03 Altima 2.5s brake pad change?A couple of notes: If she ran the pads to the metal your rotors are ruined beyond repair Buy only American Or Canadian brake rotors. Wagner, AC Delco or EBC. Pads: Wagner Quiet stop, EBC Green Stuff, Or any top brand ceramic pad. Your right you and I could do this job in two hours. It's too simple not to do yourself. Go to the library and in The Motors, or Chilton's books mimeograph the descriptions and pictures. You need to decide if your willing to buy some good quality metric tools. A 3/8 ratchet and a strip of metric shallow sockets from Sears. You need a floor jack and jack stands.
I think you see that it would be penny wise and pound foolish to spend money for all the specialized equipment to do it your self. Hire an independent and inquire if you can bring in your chosen for-mentioned parts. With the parts and an experienced teacher It would be done quickly. Good Luck.03 Altima 2.5s brake pad change?i would say the best thing for you to do,is go to auto zone and pick up a hanes book on that car.it will explain step by step how to do the job.if she wore it down to the metal,then probably you will have either have the rotors turned or have them replaced.she should have heard the squeeler.

How much will i be to get my rear brakes ( Pads and Drums ) changed?
i have a Ford Galaxy ( 07 ) diesel and i have got a grinding noise from the back right wheel.....i am just trying to find out how much the garage should charge me tomorrow for this?
Any ideas?How much will i be to get my rear brakes ( Pads and Drums ) changed?I don't think they have drums I think they have discs.
I would charge about 120 for rear back discs and pads but as the car is so new and the grinding is only coming from one wheel then it could be okay to just change the disc on that wheel (probably bring the bill down to 100).
This is just an estimate as it depends on the price of the parts.
At a garage you are probably looking about 170 - 200.
Email for more details if necessary.
EDIT:
gav552001 - It is not always necessary to change in axle pairs as you are taught in main dealers. Upon inspection, If the good brake rotor is okay (not wore down too much %26amp; smooth) then why change it? People also have there discs reground sometimes on a machine to make it right and save money.
When I say that they would be okay to get one changed, I don't mean that, I mean after inspection.How much will i be to get my rear brakes ( Pads and Drums ) changed?500 but idkHow much will i be to get my rear brakes ( Pads and Drums ) changed?phone around 3 or 4 garages to get an average figure of cost. Alternatively call or go into your local accessory shop and ask them how much the drum brakes will cost, from this you can work out each mechanics labour costs.How much will i be to get my rear brakes ( Pads and Drums ) changed?If the noise is constant it might be a wheel bearing rather than brakes.
Autodata lists rear brake pads and discs at 1hr 50 minutes labour.
Rear Discs are about 27 Pads are 12 without sensors and 16 with.
Hope this helps.How much will i be to get my rear brakes ( Pads and Drums ) changed?Hi there please ignore the one who suggests changing only one side any mechanic/technician knows that with safety critical items such as brakes, steering and suspension you change them in axle pairs, anything else is asking for trouble, as for your noise then it could be a bearing but i wouldn't expect it on an 07 plate unless the mileage is very high, as for the cost that depends on if its manufacturers parts or pattern parts such as mintex or first line and also depends upon the garage you use, im afraid that you will have to ring around but please avoid the fast fit merchants, also again check they have replaced them as a pair by asking to see the originals
Hope that helps

Is it normal for my rear brakes to squeek?
I took my car in to the shop last week and they changed out my rear brake pads because they said they were worn down almost metal to metal. The thing is, now the brakes are squeeking even more and louder than before I took the car in. My dad told me it's normal because it needs time to break in but how long is that supposed to take? Just wondering if this is normal to squeek for a whole week.Is it normal for my rear brakes to squeek?what it probably is is that they havnt cleaned the build up of rust on your brake discs, and as you say, the new pads need to bed in to the discs, but, I would take it back and ask why they havnt cleaned unwanted rust etc off discs, it is common practiceIs it normal for my rear brakes to squeek?depending on the material that was used for the brake shoes. that could be the source of the noise. this is the biggest complaint that i have seen since asbestos was dropped from use in the pads and shoes.

Yamaha YZF 600 rear brake change?
I lifted the top of the brake box and removed the brake pads and tryed to put in the new ones and the space is too small for them because the ones before were worn down and these are not. Well, how do I open up that space to get the new ones in?Yamaha YZF 600 rear brake change?Put the old pads back in.
Spread them apart with a screw driver - pressing against the disc and a pad.
Do it slowly and gently - don't damage the disc.
That will push the piston back into the caliper.
Don't open the bleeder valve - you'll end up having to bleed the brakes, when it's not necessary after changing the pads.
Temporarily remove the master cylinder cover and soak up some of the brake fluid (with a clean paper towel) if the MC is to full.
Put the cover back on and spread the brake pads again.
Continuously check the MC and soak up any excess fluid.
After the pads are in, pump the brake pedal and top up the MC with new brake fluid.
Take it easy on the first 20 or so miles - new brakes have to be broken in.
When the brakes are strong enough to lock up the rear wheel, they're good to go.Yamaha YZF 600 rear brake change?You have to push the caliper pistons back in, use a big channel lock pliers and squeeze them back in..... If its too hard to push them in, open up the bleeder screw, this will make them go in effortlessly
