someone wanna help me with a brake job?
 

my camaros brakes are starting to squeek a decent amount. im just going to do all new brakes.

only thing is, i dont know how, and id rather learn myself so i dont have to bring it to a mechanic. can people help me out for a day? im looking to do it sometime in the near future, like a months span...im busy a lot of the time and weekends would be best.

i would come bearing pizza and beer to anyone who wants to help.

PM sent. I'll help ya out if you don't mind driving to PA. I have all the tools just bring the components (Pads, calipers, rotors, fluid, if your doing them too). Oh and if your bringing pizza make sure its a Jersey pie and not the crap they sell on this side of the Delaware.

if ya wanted to come down this way, i'm sure the jsfboa could make a day of it. you can watch what we do and learn what not to do next time!

lmao sounds good...ill keep that in mind i just need to get a paycheck for the brakes and all that...but it most likely wont be for another month or so i have some things coming up on weekends.

just triple check your lug nuts after theyre done :lol:

Nasty beat me to it. Pizza and beer is good

Im right in the area, but I dont have any tools up here. If you have the tools, I'll help ya out.

you can bring it to my shop all NJFBOA member get discount BIG discount
we in union county

where in union county?

vinny i have very limited tools at my place

if ur doing brakes and rotors limited tools are fine. im in metuchen and iirc u go to kean so im like 15 min out

I'm good to give a hand if you have a place to do it, and as long as its longer than a week from now(I work 3am to 3pm for the next week). already have all the tools you'll need short of a jack and jackstands in my truck

I'm in Piscataway and willing to give a hand. If all you are doing is rotors/pads, that should be pretty easy.

I'm feeling strangely generous... If you can con Brian to help we can use my house/garage in Somerset. Only problem is when the two of us work together it magically increases the job to 10x how long it should take.

dont know how far you are from me but ill help ya out. 4th gen brakes are easy.

wow, people seem to like you Jon :lol:

That is strange of you and the job only takes 10x longer if there is wiring involved :)

I'm in east brunswick and can lend you a hand if you want.

I live in Edison and can help....

Well?? I'm out of beer!!!(IE... kegerator air-tank is empty :-( )

OHHHH NOOOOOOO....de-friending on facebook

sry had alot of work lately in Kenilworth, NJ off route 22 near STS

wow thanks everyone i got a lot of responses...i thought it would be harder to find people to help a stranger with a brake job lol. but i guess not. i need to get my paycheck first and i can get the ball rolling on this...

the brakes just squeek sometimes when i gradually slow down, it doesnt shimmy or shake or anything. another member here told me i would just need pads. true story?

thanks again for everyones help

Squeaks when braking is usually caused by a build up of brake dust on different parts of the braking system and when clamped they vibrate together and make that squeel. That's the big reason for bedding in the pads when you first install them.

can also be the material of the pad. i always recommend a premium ceramic pad and premium rotor with every brake job.

I would do pads and rotors since you dont have the ability to machine them... Otherwise you most likley will get a vibe while braking.
