So im pulling out of my driveway this afternoon around 6, and im pulling forward to make room to back up and get out of there. SO im inching towards our Lexus, and as im about 2 feet away i start applying brakes..... You know... to stop. and NOT hit the Lexus. Well God, being the almighty asshole that he is, decides to make my brakes not work, and now ive got a dent in the Lexus' trunk lid the size of a grapefruit (good thing i got teh damn thing lifted, or i woulda hit the trunk AND the body....)...
SO anyways.
Brakes worked fine from there on out, in terms of i backed up, and stopped, to survey the damage. And all subsequent applications of the brakes work perfectly, considering my 33x12.50 tires.
So im thinking the first pump of the breaks didn tgenerate enough pressure on the calipers. Thus no stoppage.
Reasons this happened are cause air in the brakelines or similar, correct? Bleeding my brakes should solve the problem?
Let me know what you think.
TO make it all worse, my mom is going psycho, th inking my Jeep is unsafe, and at any minute a wheel is going to fall off. She even suggested we take it down to the dealership to have it looked over... Not only is this a big hit to my pride, but its also a big hit to the trust factor that parents are supposed to have with their children.
What should I do? Bleed the brakes? Im out 550 clams to get them a goddamned trunk lid.
