    I have a Nissan Altima '97. I think it's just the front brakes that need replacing... How much should it cost at the garage to change if I don't buy my own? I'm a youngish girl and I'm aware they try to rip us off... ugh. :(How much does it cost to change the brake pads in my car?
    Buy the pads and have a friend do the work. The rotors will have to be turned or replaced. A garage would cost about $250, but that doesn't include replacing the rotors (in most cases).How much does it cost to change the brake pads in my car?
    Go the dealership and buy your own genuine pads and rotors. Many modern cars are designed to replace the rotors when the pads wear down anyway. They engineer things like this to save weight. You can do this job yourself with a few hand tools. Use ALLDATA data base found in many libraries, or a Haynes manual for your specific car brand. Keep the old rotors, have them inspected for proper thickness, and have them turned for the next time you need brakes. They probably are too thin, anyway. If they are re-usable, coat them in grease and sotre in wax paper. Don't forget that you need to have your brake fluid changed every 2-3 years. READ your owner's manual to understand why. Brake fluid wears out, just like oil and trans fluid. WHen it goes bad, the acids in it eat away at brake seals. Once again, use only GENUINE NISSAN brake fluid.. Mixing different brake fluids together can cause severe component issues. Good luck!!
    The front brake pads should only cost 25$ or around there if you buy them from autozone and do it yourself. A reasonable charge for a shop to do it is 40$ - 50$ . The people who charge over that price should go kill themselves.
    usually in a shop they charge around 50 - 100 per wheel.brakes ae simple im sure you have atleast one guy friend around who can do them.

    Yeah, since the E-Brake works the rear calipers they don't move straight in and out, they rotate as they move in and out. You need to buy the tool to turn then in which you can get for about $40-50.

    How to change rear brake pads on 2001 integra ls?

    I tried it but i couldnt get the caliper to open enough so it could get on top of the pads, i tried using the caliper opening tool, but no help , if anyone had done this please let me know the steps thanksHow to change rear brake pads on 2001 integra ls?
    If it's like most older Acura's, you need to rotate the piston clockwise for it to go in. There will be a couple indentations on the face of the piston. Put the tips of a decent sized needle nosed pliers in each side, as opposed to grabbing the outside which might scratch it. They do make a special tool that I have, but I don't usually even bother using it.



    When you get it back in all the way, make sure that the knob on the back of the brake pad fits into one of the indentations in the piston, or it won't work right. Rotate the piston back out a little until it lines up, if you need to.How to change rear brake pads on 2001 integra ls?
    I'm not too sure of the type of caliper used on the Acura's. However, as far as I know, you can either push a caliper piston in with a C clamp, or it has to be turned with a special type of tool. For example, Ford application calipers. One can easily distinguish them by the notches on the pistons. If neither works, caliper might be locked.

    some calipers have to be turned out instead of decompressed so just grab a pair of needle nose pliers and twist it back in

    I can't figure out how to pull apart the caliper so I can get the pads off of those pins... I've been sitting there for 2 hours. I am a fairly experienced mechanic so I'm a little put off by having to ask for help, it's down right embarrassing. I've never not been able to figure something out on my own, so please be kind to my pride hahaha...



    And thanks in advance.How do I change the brake pads on my 79 Datsun 210?
    Those cars are actually very simple. You do not need to remove the caliper. You pull the cotter pin at the end of each pin, then pull the 2 pins straight out. Then you can pull the pads out. Thats all there is to it. You will need to push the piston back in before you will be able to put the new pads in.
