A complete brake job should begin with a thorough inspection of the entire brake system lining condition rotors and drums calipers and wheel cylinders brake hardware hoses lines wheel bearings and master cylinder. We inspect & check for Any hoses that are found to be age cracked chaffed swollen or leaking to be replaced. Steel lines that are leaking kinked badly corroded or damaged must also be replaced. A leaking caliper or wheel cylinder needs to be rebuilt or replaced. The same applies to a caliper that is frozen (look for uneven pad wear) damaged or badly corroded. Leaks at the master cylinder or a brake pedal that gradually sinks to the floor tells you that the master cylinder needs replacing. Rotors and drums inspected for wear heat cracks warpage or other damage.If worn too thin replace them. Rust heat and age have a detrimental effect on many hardware components. It s a good idea to replace some of these parts when the brakes are relined. On disc brakes new mounting pins and bushings are recommended for floating-style calipers. High temperature synthetic or silicone brake grease (never ordinary chassis grease) should be used to lubricate caliper pins and caliper contact points. On drum brakes. shoe retaining clips and return springs should be replaced. Self-adjusters should be replaced if they are corroded or frozen. Use brake grease to lubricate self-adjusters and raised points on brake backing plates where shoes make contact. As a final step old brake fluid should always be replaced with fresh fluid.
