thank god i took it to the mechanic. i watched him go at those rear bolts for 30 min. rusted to hell. worth every penny to get him to do it. now the rears have all new bolts so next brake job wont be hard.
hope that works out for you. seems shade tree cheap with cheap parts..... parts alone are half that cost! we live in a time where good honest mechanics make $140 an hour. its a 2 to 3 hour job just for the brakes, 1 hour for the boot, So.. unless thats quoated with your supplied parts i would advise you to be cautios. there is no shortage of work so its a red flag for cheap work like that.turns out my mechanic quoted me around mid 300s to do the front brakes, rears and the outer cv boot. i think i may just take it to him this week to get the rears done and the cv boot so i dont have to deal with it. didnt expect it to be so cheap considering other mechanics wanted around 200 just for the cv boot
