As a mechanic for dodge I can honestly say anyone can do they breaks on they own given the correct tools for the job. What he is teaching her is how to get by not how to do it right.
Don't defend this costing $1000.. Get a toolset and parts for less than a third of the price and do it yourselves with the internet as a guide. Mechanics are reserved for new cars that's impossible to work on 😂
Yeah, was gunna say the same. Mechanics are expensive but they use proper tools and your brakes will be less likely to fail. If you don’t have the proper wrenches, then the chances are you probably don’t have a torque wrench either.
Get some proper tools. You will never get it tight enough with pliers if you’re even able to remove them. Not to mention all the damage you will do to the bolts making future repairs more difficult and expensive. If you’re going to do something do it right.
