I have to change my back brakes, as well as the brake cylinders. I haven't changed back brakes in at least ten years and I've NEVER changed the cylinders. If any of you have experience in doing this, let me know. I have a few questions for ya!
Thanks!

Here's what I do:

I drive down to Midas, get out, hand them the keys and say I'll be back in a couple of hours.

Works perfectly every time...

What Original said. You're gonna spend more money in parts, trips to the store, and installation/reinstallation grief and time than it's worth. Seriously, have Midas do it.

No can do, good buddies!
I DEFINITELY can't afford to pay someone... they all want at LEAST 150 bucks(And that's with ME furnishing the parts, which I already have.)... money I just don't have to spend. I CAN do it, I was just hoping someone here could give me some idea how long it will take, blah, blah, blah.

Then I suggest you solicit recommendations from friends who've had good experiences with independent mechanics, after which you should call around to see if one of those greasemonkeys'll cut you a deal on a labor-only repair (maybe even throwing in some kind of warranty).

I do all my own auto repairs, and in fact just gave my Chevy a brake job a few months ago.

What do you need, Jim?

Jim, a brake job is fairly easy.
I can answer any questions you have...

Hey Jim, how's the car? Looks like Chris wants to help you.... are you OK?

Missing your big grin, big grin, big grin 's

And be sure to breathe in all that lovely asbestos dust as deeply as you can. It'll make a man of ya.

Jim would rather spend big bucks on his auto repairs than spend one minute talking to me.
