How do I check if my parking brake is on? How do I bleed my rear brakes?

SOURCE: BRAKE PADS

OK Jin, 1st I'd like to know if u know what kind of shape the brake pads are in, are they wearing evenly, (inner and outer, and both wheels) are they grinding metal on metal? If everything is wearing evenly, and u haven't gotten to the point of metal pads (brake lining worn off) grinding on the rotors, u can probably get away w/ just changing the pads, although to do a quality job, you should also remove the brake rotors, have them cut (ground down perfectly smooth and flat) by an auto shop (about $18 each in my area), and bleed the brake system to flush out the old fluid so u have new fluid in the system. You also may need calipers if break pads are not wearing evenly. Let me know condition of brake pads and other above questions, and I can give u more info. I'll be on the road tomorrow for 15+ hours tomorrow, so be patient for a reply! countrycurt0

Its probably how your bleeding your brakes, but first make sure the bleeding nipples are facing upward. You should bleed diagonaly, front pass wheel then rear driver wheel. Then front driver wheel and rear pass wheel. The abs light has its own computer your have to get it scanned to clear the codes and turn off the light

SOURCE: bleed brakes

I dont understand your question are you wanting to bleed your brakes? you need to people to do this ..... one person to press on the petal while you have the brake hose pointing into a jar or container to catch the brake fluid this will take any air out of the line .... start at the back brakes and make you way to the front .....but you have to keep replacing your brake fuild in the master cylinder to full or you'll be bleeding nothing out the lines and off setting your brakes. keep your brake fuild at mid level in the master cyclinder at all times. Hope this helped

find out what tool you need to remove bolts for the caliper(2) once you get the bolts out remove caliper. next step remove old pads.then you will need a c clamp to compress piston on the caliper back in then get new pads and install them on caliper easy fix reinstall caliper on to rotor and put bolts back in just observe how the caliper came off
