BRakes Update!
I thought i share my Midas experience. I finally decided to bring my brakes to Midas for them to change. I tried the pb blaster and breaker bar to loosen the two 12mm bolts that hold the caliper together. It didn't work for me so i said f... it, ill bring it to Midas to change it. I had to change two rear rotors and one pad on one wheel. It came out to be 102 bucks. Yeah 102!!!! Just for the rear. Also out of nowhere the mechanic at Midas even told me straight up that you needed a special tool to put the rear pistons back into the caliper, he told me to push it in and not twist it in. I was arguing with him and said that you don't push the piston in, you twist it in because if you push it in it is going to ruin all the threads inside the caliper. Well he didn't agree with me and i didn't want to argue too much so i paid and the work was done. Those guys at Midas talked to me like i didn't know anything. Well i learned my lesson = if you want things done, you do it yourself.
