brake pressure lost

[dan2286]

just for the part it would have been prolly 600$ for this one shop to fix it i called on.. i said F- that

Thats a pretty big rip off, some shops are shady like that.

but for the people whom have changed there wheel cylinders is that the price you payed an are they junk?

Thats a normal price.

humm... just seemed alittle to cheap for something that deals with brakes

 

[Blake442]

Cheap yes, but it's a pretty simple item.

And make sure that even if only one of them is leaking, replace them both.

Also, since your brake shoes have now been soaked in brake fluid, you should replace your shoes as well.

leaky brake lines was one of the problems that started my project.......

 

[Cutty1]

took to the shop and..

well i have it at a shop, an the leak isnt bad to wear it was all over the shoe, but the guy was telling me since the wheel cylinders are clipped in an not bolted that i'm gonna be in heap of trouple if he cant get it off.. he said he cant put new lines on cause you have to bled the cylinders, and he said something about a plate, that he would have to replace some type of plate if it was bad.. , he said gm did a crappy job on designing the rear brakes for these and there nothing but trouble, so havent heard anything about it yet i'lll let you guys know what they find out.. but doesnt sound good

yeah,, the backing plate deteriorates pretty fast on these cars and i think you have to take the axles off to replace them!

 

[Cutty1]

can anyone find a picture of those plates and great how do those cost??

 

[Cutty1]

backing plates?? quick need answer

where can i find back plates at ? the shop wants 100 each are they cheaper anywhere else?
