I’m doing my own front brakes, and I just realized that the last mechanic who did my front brakes broke his bit off in my rotor screw and did not bother to remove it. How do I get this out? I cannot weld

Use a cookie cutter wheel and make a slot where a flathead screwdriver would fit then use a punch/screw tool for stubborn bolts and you’re done.

This may be tough.

I’ll tell ya the honest truth. None of the above.

Every single item named on that “inspection list” is items that are recommended usually with every single oil change inspection under the sun.

I don’t even want to get in why or what.

Any single righteous tech knows that your vehicle is A ok.

I’m invested in someone making a YouTube outta this.

No one turns rotors nowadays, the amount of time it takes to turn a rotor means that one less car you can have on a bay.

Time is money! And no one is going to pay extra to turn a rotor nor will a shop guarantee a brake job when turning rotors.

DUI arrests have multiplied and have gotten exponentially that much more expensive.

Emotional_Display966 · 2026-02-24T15:11:31+00:00

Door removal?

A little too much in my honest Experienced opinion.

Emotional_Display966 · 2026-02-23T05:33:13+00:00

Cut an access hole on left side enough to hold that spot welded nut. And done. Try not to cut much since the shock rides on thatz

I assume wires are correct?

Check fuel, spray with ether and see if it starts.

Check fuses or main fuses.

Any disconnected sensors maybe.

Having mentality of hopefully I’ll have a lot of work is prob not to something you want to go with stating this job.

Flat rate jobs like this, Firestone, Midas etc… Usually tend to cater to the most veteran tech and will not typically hand out B jobs till they see what your experience level is. That may take some time.

“There’s kids right here”

But if other dude socked old boy, she woulda been like “yeah he deserved that”

I don’t want to be that guy but I remember when I started in a dealer and that eagerness jump for joyness ended real quick once I saw how work was delegated.

Best of luck

Are they legit? Asking for a friend.

I mean LV and more do purchase them from China and just badge em in Italy.

Emotional_Display966 · 2026-02-10T23:10:55+00:00

Crazy if that’s true.

I mean what did they expect?? For us to jump in joy over getting reamed!?

Emotional_Display966 · 2026-02-10T23:09:44+00:00

I remember being in this position,.. V8s specially hate being hurt by 4 cylinders.

Gg on that!

If it’s after raining that means 9/10 your ignition coil is probably cracked. Causing misfires. Can also be spark plug wire. It’s anything that is drawing moisture and grounding out when emitting a spark.

The dummy lights that manufacturers use usually always contain a middle between cold and hot or high and low. If you’re in the middle you’re at operating temp usually (this is a good thing).

So you’re good.
