That's not exactly how you do it. If you have anti lock brakes you have to release the bleed valve when you compress the piston to avoid dirt/debri from being pushed back in the ABS modulator, otherwise you'll screw up the ABS system. Also remembering to catch any fluid that squirts out and to close the bleed valve when the piston is compressed.

I just use a cheap Walmart turkey baster & almost empty the master cylinder then refill when done.

Hmm. Never done that method before. I just remove the cap from the reservoir.

She need her truck brakes checked out and I am long distance. Any place would have to be close to campus or have a shuttle. Thanks.

Just looking for some help for an out of state Dad gents. There will be no pics or stories. I may be willing to send over some big brothers and a beer...

This is so weird. This is literally a clone to another thread from last year where a dad from out of state was looking for brake work for his daughter that was going to UT.

I never turn them. I just replace them when I change the brakes. I get a pretty good discount due to my dad working for genuine parts though. Did front and rear breaks with premium pads and repladed all 4 rotors(drum breaks on the rear of my truck) on both my wife's Honda Pilot and my Silverado for just over $300 back in Dec.

why would you want to change rotors ? it is a lot cheaper to just turn them,unless your getting them super cheap,I had the ones turned on my used truck when i got it and have gotten well over 50k miles on them and haven't had to change the pads either,probably getting time to,I think it was around 20 bucks to get both turned then

call around and get the prices on the worst case and the best case scenarios ,to see what the best deals are for your daughters car,just let them know you know what you are talking about and that should stop the over pricing just because she is a girl,most places have a set price for work,so they won't be looking to rip her off
