Well to make a long story short and I took off the brake fluid cable on accident and leaked everywhere. Now when I stop my brakes are really soft and I have to depress it all the way to stop. Can I fix this myself??? If not it's going to the dealership or somewhere in the morning. How much do you think they would charge for spring,shock and swaybar install? Help Please!!!!

BTW I just checked my brake fluid level, and it is full.

 

Did you bleed the brakes after you opened up the system?

 

You need to bleed them brakes. /Aerostar\ did a full writeup on exactly what to do, if you search you can find it. Unfortunately the pictures are no longer there, but you should be able to do it anyways.

 

yeah what they said, you have air in the brake lines now so you have to bleed it out.

 

A little update. I took my car to a local shop, jiffy lube, and they said that it wasn't in their job description to bleed the brakes, but one of the guys said he would help me do it off the record. We worked on it together for about 20 min and fixed my brakes, and I just paid him $30 on the side for helping me. I would rather have someone help me do it who knows what there doing compared to myself not having a clue and messing it up. I am having my springs, shocks, and swaybars put on either tommorow or wednesday. I just don't have time to do it.
