I change my brakes on my Nissan maxima 1993 and now my brake pedal are so soft and Im aware that its now dangerous to drive. This is my first time that happens to me. I have change brake pads so many times but this one really gave me problem. If theres air inside my lines then What can I do. If this is a big kind of job how much would it cost me. Thanx for all your answers and God Bless.How much it would cost me to have my brake lines fixed?If you can change your brake pads you can bleed your own brakes.
You'll need a helper. Have the helper pump the pedal two or three times and hold pressure on the pedal while you break open the bleeder screw on the caliper. Air and brake fluid will squirt out. The pedal will go to the floor. Tell your helper to hold pressure on the pedal until you close the bleeder. Repeat this procedure until you see just brake fluid squirt out and no air. Do the same thing for the other caliper. Add enough brake fluid to the master cylinder to top it back off when you are done.
You should bleed the brakes in the following sequence...right rear, left rear, right front, left front. (right being passenger side and left being driver side)How much it would cost me to have my brake lines fixed?Hello,,sounds like air in the lines for sure,,it ain't real hard,,just takes a couple minutes,but you'll need a smart friend to help you,,make sure you have enough brake fluid on hand in case things get out of control,haha, only problem is usually the bleeder screws are to tight to loosen and someone breaks it off,,that sucks,,or they turn it the wrong way and break it off,,so maybe saving some money means paying someone to fix you foul-ups. Find someone with the skills and the time to be able to fix anything,, you might learn the hard way to do yourself.How much it would cost me to have my brake lines fixed?sounds like air in line.
have ya never bleed the lines after re-doing brakes b4 ?
bleeding the lines isnt a big or hard job. no special tools required.(one wrench or eeekks vise grips)
may need a helper to pump and hold brake pedel while you turn the bleeder screw on the caliper tho.
