T ihatemycar User Nov 15, 2007, 8:04 AM Post #3 of 6 (2405 views) Re: 2003 Alero Sign In I had changed the brake pads and lubed a few things up. thats about it tom Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Nov 15, 2007, 8:52 AM Post #4 of 6 (2403 views) Re: 2003 Alero Sign In You said this was a "sound" at the pedal?? If you just put pads in it the rotors might have had a rusty ridge that the new pads are now scraping off. If you pushed back pistons to make room for the new pads without opening the bleeder to let the excess fluid out then you pushed all the old fluid right back thru perhaps thousands of dollars worth of ABS items and they could be screwed up. Go back and check your work and look for the hardware to be in place and if you twisted up the flex hose or something like that. You can't always get out of a repair so cheap. You will be on the couch if you messed up the ABS - trust me on that one!

It may be fine. Just avoid pushing back old fluid into the reservoir in the future, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
