okay well my honda, its a 1999 honda civic SE. when your going high speeds or even any speed and you press the brakes, you can feel your foot bouncing back and forth as if it was braking by itself and then not braking ( you get it?) it kinda vibrates my foot. I am asking how would i fix this, is it the rotors? is something filled with dirt? im clueless..

 

Sounds like warped rotors. If you get a pulsing feel in the brake pedal and some vibrations throughout the car(can sometimes even feel it in the steering wheel), then that's usually the problem. Easiest and cheapest way to fix that is pick up some generic brake rotors from your local auto parts store and throw them on there.

 

i see thanks but that being said i would have to replace both wouldnt i?

 

Yes do both at the same time.

 

is there a faq to how uninstall the old ones and install new ones? this is my frist car ever and i dont want to pay a mechanic to do it for me since it wont be experiential for me

 

I'm sure you can google something like "diy rotor install". Generally the process is the same with most cars. I would highly suggest a Haynes manual. It cost maybe like $20 but it'll save you a lot on repairs if you do the work yourself.

One thing you may need to do this job is an impact driver. There are 2 screws that help hold the rotors onto the hub. These tend to seize up and without an impact driver, you can strip them and end up having to drill them out.

 

i will get that manual tomorrow! and thanks i will update this when i do this thanks for the info

 

so there are 2 nuts or bolts in the caliper that i cant seem to get loosen, what do you guys recommend for this? ive used some force but nothing they are sealed tight. ive read spraying some PB Blaster Penetrating Catalyst is better than wd-40/

 

Yes, try soaking in PB Blaster. Did you round off the top of the bolts? Do you have the correct sized socket? An 18" breaker bar also may help, but don't strip or break the bolts.

 

i have not stripped the bolts yet and yes i have a breaker bar thanks man. you dont happen to knwo the size would youÉ
