Toyota Corolla Brakes make Grinding noise?

The vehicle was checked by professional garage mechanic.

The mechanic indicated problem with brake pads.The pads needs to be replaced.The rotors needs Re-surfaced in front and System needs to be flushed with rear side needs inspection and adjustment.

What should be the Labor cost.

Approx cost should be under $600 for this Brake grinding noise repairs.

I will give part by part breakout cost for repair and labor.

If the  the "diagnosis" of the problem sounds correct.

Then the front brake pads sell for around $58. The price for resurfacing of rotors varies from shop to shop, but the average is around $15-$25 per rotor. The labor time guide calls for a little over 2 hours to complete the front brake job (this includes the resurfacing time/labor). The adjustment to the rears calls for a little under an hour to adjust both sides. And the system flush also varies from shop to shop, but the average is anywhere from $80-$120 (this usually includes labor and fluid). Labor rates vary from shop to shop,
For a job of this type, a "fair" labor rate can by anywhere from $85-$125 per hour. Shop around, and find a reputable shop that warranty their parts and labor. So, using worst case scenarios with all the highest labor rates above, I get a total of a little over $560.So you can expect the repair cost with parts and labor will be under $600.
Get the fault complete cleared.Ask the mechanic to use branded and parts with warranty.Get proper repair and service bill.Test drive will slow and on highway speeds.

This details will help.
Thanks.

Dodge RAM Cab: Brake pedal loose after replacing Brake Calipers?

Tried Bleeding brakes but brake pedal gets loose or gets stuck up.All started after replacing Brake caliper.

Yes this is common.

Its not problem with brake bleeding procedure.

But the problem mostly lies in brake caliper.

The first thing is to check the placement of the caliper bleeder screws on the front calipers. They are supposed to be at the top of the caliper, above the brake hose to caliper connection:

See the help Diagram shown below:----
caliper image

If they are towards the bottom or facing the bottom, then the calipers are on the wrong sides. When bleeder is at the bottom, there is an air pocket at top of caliper that will never bleed out. Swap sides with calipers and rebleed and you are good to go.

This details will help.
Thanks.

How to remove ABS Accumulator on Acura Integra?

The details are as follows :---

Accumulator


REMOVAL & INSTALLATION



See Figure 1
Click image to see an enlarged view
Fig. Fig. 1: Accumulator and pressure switch assembly
The ABS accumulator is a pneumatic type which stores high pressure brake fluid which is fed from the pump assembly. As the ABS operates, the accumulator works in conjunction with the pump to supply extremely high pressure fluid to the modulator valve.
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. To remove the accumulator you must first remove the pump assembly, as outlined later in this section.
  3. Place the pump assembly in a vise and loosen the accumulator by turning it counter clockwise with an open-end wrench.
See Figure 2
Click image to see an enlarged view
Fig. Fig. 2: Removing the accumulator from the pump assembly
  1. The pressure in the accumulator must be released before disposing of it in the trash.
  2. To relieve the accumulator pressure, perform the following:
    1. Secure the accumulator in a vise.
See Figure 3

Fig. Fig. 3: Removing the relief plug to allow the pressure to escape
  1. Slowly turn the plug three to four turns.
  2. Allow five minutes for the pressure to escape.
  3. Completely remove the relief plug from the accumulator.
  1. Discard the accumulator.
  2. Install the accumulator assembly in the reverse order of the removal procedure.

Brake Caliper OVERHAUL on Acura Integra?


OVERHAUL


The procedure is as follows :---

Some vehicles may be equipped dual piston calipers. The procedure to overhaul the caliper is essentially the same with the exception of multiple pistons, O-rings and dust boots.
  1. Remove the caliper from the vehicle and place on a clean workbench.

CAUTION
NEVER place your fingers in front of the pistons in an attempt to catch or protect the pistons when applying compressed air. This could result in personal injury!

Depending upon the vehicle, there are two different ways to remove the piston from the caliper. Refer to the brake pad replacement procedure to make sure you have the correct procedure for your vehicle.
  1. The first method is as follows:
    1. Stuff a shop towel or a block of wood into the caliper to catch the piston.
    2. Remove the caliper piston using compressed air applied into the caliper inlet hole. Inspect the piston for scoring, nicks, corrosion and/or worn or damaged chrome plating. The piston must be replaced if any of these conditions are found.
See Figures 6 and 7
Click image to see an enlarged view
Fig. Fig. 6: For some types of calipers, use compressed air to drive the piston out of the caliper, but make sure to keep your fingers clear

Fig. Fig. 7: Withdraw the piston from the caliper bore
  1. For the second method, you must rotate the piston to retract it from the caliper.
  2. If equipped, remove the anti-rattle clip.
See Figure 8
Click image to see an enlarged view
Fig. Fig. 8: On some vehicles, you must remove the anti-rattle clip
  1. Use a prytool to remove the caliper boot, being careful not to scratch the housing bore.
See Figures 9 and 10

Fig. Fig. 9: Use a prytool to carefully pry around the edge of the boot ...


Click image to see an enlarged view
Fig. Fig. 10: ... then remove the boot from the caliper housing, taking care not to score or damage the bore
  1. Remove the piston seals from the groove in the caliper bore.
See Figure 11
Click image to see an enlarged view
Fig. Fig. 11: Use extreme caution when removing the piston seal; DO NOT scratch the caliper bore
  1. Carefully loosen the brake bleeder valve cap and valve from the caliper housing.
  2. Inspect the caliper bores, pistons and mounting threads for scoring or excessive wear.
  3. Use crocus cloth to polish out light corrosion from the piston and bore.
  4. Clean all parts with denatured alcohol and dry with compressed air.
To install:
  1. Lubricate and install the bleeder valve and cap.
  2. Install the new seals into the caliper bore grooves, making sure they are not twisted.
  3. Lubricate the piston bore.
  4. Install the pistons and boots into the bores of the calipers and push to the bottom of the bores.
  5. Use a suitable driving tool to seat the boots in the housing.
See Figure 12
Click image to see an enlarged view
Fig. Fig. 12: Use the proper size driving tool and a mallet to properly seal the boots in the caliper housing
  1. Install the caliper in the vehicle.
  2. Install the wheel and tire assembly, then carefully lower the vehicle.
  3. Properly bleed the brake system.
See Figure 13

Fig. Fig. 13: There are tools, such as this Mighty-Vac, available to assist in proper brake system bleeding
