Brake Install Cost

Jsolo

Keep in mind no shop will provide a warranty for labor on any customer installed parts.

Found these on youtube. The guy is pretty detailed about the varying steps involved.

part 2
Hmm... Part 2 doesn't exist. Really though part 2 (assembly) is part 1 in reverse.

Couple of points, placing the jack stand under the control arm is not a good idea. I place mine under the pinch weld with a slotted hockey puck in between.

Using a torque wrench as a breaker bar is a no no too. Good way to ruin the torque wrench.

Job can be made easier by turning the wheel hard left/right depending which caliper is being worked on. Use brake clean to clean the new parts. Apply a thin film of grease on the rotor/hub mating surface. Rears are more challenging because of the parking brake.

I mean exactly what I typed. Shops typically don't provide any warranty on customer provided parts. Why should they. If you buy their part and there's a warranty issue, their parts supplier reimburses them for labor (or at partly). So you take a gamble, save a few bucks or get full parts/labor warranty. Either way you pay - marked up parts pricing upfront or additional labor costs down the line.

In the case of brakes for example, lets say the parts you provide squeak after install. Who should be responsible for the remedy...
