Brake Job - Need A Helping Hand

Good Afternoon m3post

I am planning to swap my brakes out with new rotors and pads. Is there anyone that is knowledgeable and willing to lend a helping hand with doing this swap.

I have limited knowledge with brakes but willing to assist in anyway possible

I live in GLENDALE/818 area.

I can offer you tools, shade, and beer.


FOR THOSE WHO ARE WILLING! text me at 818-913-5304

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

I love it...This is like saying to a mechanic Ill just pay you with like 12 bucks worth of beer for somewhere around $1000 worth of labor. Just did my front pads last weekend, and its hard enough to motivate myself to do work on my own car for free, let alone someone elses, haha. Im all for helping fellow enthusiasts, but you gotta make it worth someone's time. Just my two cents.

I could help, but I only drink bottles of Cristal or Dom P.

But kidding aside, there are detailed DIYs on the forum. You should be able to follow. Youtube has some good videos also.

Hey I actually did a full 4 stage plasti dip for a guy on here for lunch . But then again I was also doing it in exchange for future use of his garage to do it in. My HOA would flip if they found out I was doing it at my house, haha.

I was going to offer the OP to do the job in exchange for some manual labor. But I can guarantee he wouldn't do it, lol.

Is there an un-appreciate for an OP abandoning their post?
