Question:
Also due to money problems at the moment i'm not sure i can afford to have this all done. Is it okay to just change the pads and the rotors later or perhaps change the rotors and the pads later? Or is getting it all done at the same time my only option. Please help i need it. Thank you.
Oh yes i drive a 2000 chevy blazer 4 door 4wheel dr.

The rotors will probably be glazed over so it's a good idea to have them turned when installing pads. Failure to do so will result in poorer braking and faster pad wear.Look at your brake fluid in the reservoir under the hood. If it's cloudy, it's good idea to have it flushed and replaced with new fluid. Dot 3 brake fluid absorbs water, discolors and rusts the interior of your brake lines and wheel cylinders.
Getting it all done at the same time is your best and cheapest option.

The flush is needed but you can get by without it for now.Usually it's good to flush your brake system every couple of years. Brake fluid is designed to absorb water to prevent rust from forming in your brake system. However, as your fluid absorbs more water, the boiling point of the fluid drops. Eventually if your boiling point drops far enough, heavy braking can cause your brake fluid to boil and you lose pressure in the braking system. This is only likely to happen in extreme circumstances but a good idea nonetheless.
Can anyone tell me where the fuel cut off switch is located on a Ford Escort XR3i convertable?
Depends on the wear regarding rotors. If they are worn below the recommended amount, they can't be cut smooth again. You would waste your money putting new pads on worn rotors because the new pads would start wearing unevenly, if they didn't crack outright.The fluid flush is really a good idea, and probably the cheapest part of the job. The fluid breaks down over time and from braking heat. It goes from clear to a dark brown as rust and oxides accumulate in it. Brake fluid is hygroscopic (attracts and absorbs water) even though there's a gasket over the resvoirs, some humid air manages to get in. A new bottle of DOT 3 rated fluid is under $4. If you have a vacuum type bottle, it is a one-man job.
What causes a car engine to misfire and how do you fix it?
I would get a second opinion, unless your rotors are already scored or well used you probably don't need to replace them.New pads on old scored rotors will just wear the pads out quicker. If you have ABS brakes or the fluid hasn't been changed in a couple of years, don't skip the flush.

the wise thing is always all at once - but keep this in mind your rotors may just need to be cut, your brake system should not need to be flushed unless it has a leak somewhere and is sucking in air and dirt into the lines - but get a 2nd opinion from another shop brakes are cheap enough if your rotors just need to be shaved that will save you money as well.. if you choose to go to this same shop remember this they are only allowed to do the work you tell them to if they do anything more it's a breach of contract on their end and you can't be held accountable for the money !How do you demobilise a passenger airbag on a Toyata Yaris - V Reg?
Doing the flush is important, as brake fluid is Hygroscopic (not Hydroscopic). Which means it absorbs a certin amount of water up until a certin point, then the water will seperate, this water is dangerious in the brake system if left for to long. It will start to rust brake lines from the inside out. Also, with a brake fluid flush, all of the contaminants, dirt and debris that is caught in the system will be removed, this dirt and debris can damage seals, lines, and hoses, and clog the master cylinder in some cases.Does anybody know if there are colleges and univesitys that teach you how to work on cars?
If you can not afford the brake flush, you can go without, but once you get the money it should be preformed. It should be preformed every year or brake job, whatever comes first. As there will always be contaminants in the system and get into the system, and the fluid's chemical composition will cause break down over periods of wear, when the fluid heats and cools (when breaking).

i understand what money problems are friend.for right now,just replace the pads and rotors,and what you might do,is just clean out the master cylinder and add new fluid.that should hold you until you get more cash.More Questions & Answers ...
