Re: Complete brake job needed, opinions?
Thanks for the input. Most everything will be either new or rebuilt. The few things that are rebuilt won't be an overhaul of my current parts, rather there are parts (calipers for example) that you can get new or remanufactured. I checked with two auto parts places, and asked them if they recommended against a refmanufactered master cylinder. Both places sold both versions and both said they have had the same return rate on new and remanufactured.
Since I am going to go through almost the whole set up, I will go with mostly new stuff but I may do a remanufactured part here and there. I don't know about the actuator; I'll have to ask about that. In answer to the question, one caliper is sticking.
Does $900 to 1150 sound reasonable for what I quoted above? That includes new rubber hoses. I likely will just have the rear drums replaced instead of the re-do, that will be part of the price. It seemed a little pricey to me, but all that stuff adds up and that will be money well spent for safety reasons. Mainly I am trying to find out if that price range is reasonable. I don't mind spending it; I just don't want to get taken on the price. I have checked with two shops so far, both of them have been around for quite a while, so that helps somewhat.
Thanks again for all the comments....
