somebody in AZ bring techstream over and Bleed my brakes

Hey folks, i live in the east Valley suburbs of AZ and could really use help here. I want to avoid being bent over and raped by the stealerships around here.

They now want $200.00 or more just to bleed my rear drum brakes after i put new drum pads and cylinders in them. Of course they are chomping at the bit to say the actuator MIGHT be bad so hey, thats THOUSANDS of dollars, and that they told me without even checking the car in... just an "educated guess from someone who writes these cars up all day"

Going there feels a lot like running backwards naked through a prison, purposely dropping soap as I go.

help a guy out would ya??? May also want to check and see if there is enouogh clearance between the drum and the pads. I smelled a bit of burning yesterday as I test drove it around the neighborhood.

Could someone who has done this before please bring techstream laptop/vci cable and help me finish this?


Thanks,

Anthony Park.

PS: In years past, when I was remanning the hybrid battery, there was a guy somewhat local to me who is no longer on the forum it seems. Haven't seen him for a few years but he was an acknowledged expert on these batteries and prii in general. His advice and help was invaluable in the past but I have lost his contact info. If anyone knows who I am on about, PM please with his contact info. Thanks!

 

i couldnt find in the link what was meant by a prius rock, can you explain?
