Mitsubishi: 99 Galant - Rear brake tone

Well, those are 6 year old brakes. I'm betting the front have been changed
once or twice? I think it's time to do the rear. If I remember, that's rear
disc. You can get new rotors and pads for far less than 60 bucks and have it
done in 20 minutes. If you can't count to 5, DO NOT PAY TO HAVE IT DONE!
Disc brakes are child's play. If you feel the need to pay for it, get a 5
year old child or woman to do it and buy them an ice cream. I'm tired of
people paying 300 bucks to get disc brakes done, especially on
Mitsus...maybe on a Ford or GM hunk of shit.

I would take ya pads off and see if they are glazed, some times having
glazed pads can cause a low pitched noise simply when ya putting your brakes
on its hitting the glaze first, causeing the noise, slip out ya pads and
scrape on a smooth concrete pathway or use 360 grade wet n dry and take them
back to having no smooth surface

Hope it helps

Thanks for both responses.

I'd be more than happy to try it myself and save myself some bucks, but it's
been about 25 years since the last time I did brakes.

Any recommendations for a repair manual?

You shouldn't need one. There are only two bolts holding the calipers on.
Take those off, put the pads and new rotors on, and reverse. Takes, at most,
20 minutes. Most of the time is spent jacking the car up and taking off the
tires.

Really that self explanatory, eh? I'll try taking of of the back wheels off
this weekend and take a look at it.

Thanks! Especially, thanks for saving me $$.

I looked at the rotors, and they're very smooth Can I get away with just
new pads?
