I have been told that it will cost upwards of $1000 to have a mechanic do the job and I‘ve priced parts to do it myself which will save me about 60% but I don‘t know where to begin!
Go to O'Reilly Auto Parts and purchase copper brake lines (they come on a roll) and the flange machine (very cheap kit) for making the flanges. Then get the new rotors and pads (if needed), and the a new master cylinder. Fit the master cylinder first. Before you do, put the new cylinder in a vice and fill the cylinder with brake fluid and pump the arm until all the air is out. Use the small plugs to stop the leaks until you fit the cylinder and are ready to fit the new brake lines to it. Follow the original brake lines with the new, fixing to the same anchors. Terminate them and then start to bleed each brake from the rear passenger side then the driver rear. The front is the same; passenger side first. When done, push down on the pedal and it will go to the floor. Start the engine and feel how the brake are. good to go. 50 years fixing auto engines.
Agree with the proviso that some mixes use a very small amount of hardner/activator - an ounce or less per quart - follow directions.
I stumped my toe I suppose I gets a hair reduce. Makes approximately as so much experience as what you probably did. What fool talked you into striking a brand new motor in when you consider that it could now not begin? I have heard of a few beautiful shady tips to milk a few cash out of men and women however this one is headed to the highest. Get a tester and assess the battery.Auto Zone will do it at no cost.If it really works assess the starter.Hey bet what? Auto Zone will do this to.If it really works it have to be a relay earlier than the starter. please inform me that is only a funny story and also you fairly did not change the motor when you consider that it would not begin.
Any shop worth their salt won't install parts onto a car that they didn't purchase through their accounts at parts stores. Its for warranty reasons. Also, they ARE killing you on part prices. Standard practice at shops is to charge 200% of MFG List price. There's no money in labor. As far as install order. if you're really installing everything you mentioned, the order will not matter at all. Put it all in, fill the system, then bleed the system. When you bleed the system, you wanna start from the furthest spot from the brake master cylinder, IE the back right wheel. Then go back left, then front right, then front left.
