What is replaced with brake repair?
Most often a brake repair simply involves replacing the brake
pads. If the pads have worn too much though the rotors or drums
will also need to be resurfaced or replaced. In more serious cases
the master cylinder that controls the brake pressure will be
replaced. Brake lines rarely if ever need to be replaced.

Asked in Pontiac Grand Am
You just replaced brake pads on a 2000 grand am an they are squeaking does any one know how to fix that problem?
Disc brake squeaking starts with high temperatures on the face
of the pad and then it is magnified at the back of the pads where
they contact the caliper. When you replaced the brake pads did you
have the rotors machined? You should because the run-out on the
rotors can be part of the problem. Also you have anti-rattle clips;
were they installed correctly? If you did these correctly then try
this: Remove the brake pads and on the back of the pads apply a
couple of heavy beads of RTV silicone and let it set up for 20
minutes then install the pads; that should take care of the
noise.

Asked in Dodge Spirit
Where to put brake fluid in an 1989 Dodge Spirit?
Before you add brake fluid, are you SURE you need to add some?
Because as brake pads wear, the brake fluid level goes down, but
the brake pads need to be replaced then, BEFORE any brake fluid is
added. Otherwise, when the brake pads ARE replaced, there will be
too much brake fluid in the reservoir, and it will flow out when
the pistons are pushed back into it's bore, to make room for the
new pads. -Tom.
