Even better doing your own brake work. Can replace the pads and get the rotors turned for a fraction of what a shop would charge.

replacing brakes is significantly easier with a friend...especially when you bleed the brake line

It'll probably be about the same hour constraints for me, but I'll be making up lost time at my regular job. I'm hoping that it will help me get my foot in the door for a TA position in grad school. I have a few years to go for that though.

Wieland is good shit. I wrote a paper on how it's an overextended metaphor looking at the differences between the city and the rural. Very interesting stuff.
I'd also vote for Outer Dark over Child of God...not sure how well too many college undergrads respond to necrophilia

Ha, that was my initial reservation! I actually love Outer Dark more anyway, so that's probably the one I'll lean toward. I've never read Wieland, but I figure a class on the American Gothic has to include it. Some more summer reading for me! And your comment on the binary (ambiguity, maybe?) of city - rural is very intriguing. The Gothic loves binaries like that, so maybe that will end up in some of our discussions...

I've never done a brake line flush. I'm talking about the pads and rotors only. You need a socket set, most likely a phillips screw driver (because Honda puts unnecessary screws in their rotors that tend to rust shut and require a impact gun to get them out or worse a drill/tap job), a large C-Clamp, potentially a mallet, a tire iron, and another car or a ride.
Take the wheels off, use the socket set to get the brake assembly off the rotors/get the pads off, and then use the screwdriver/mallet to get the rotors off. Verify your local OReillys/Pep Boys/Autozone/etc does turn rotors, and take the 2nd vehicle/ride go get your rotors turned and buy the necessary brake pads.Come back, put on rotors, put on the pads (don't forget the brake-quiet-goo) use the C-Clamp to depress the brake cylinders, reattach the brake assembly, put your wheels back on, done.
It probably looks more involved typing that all out than it is. Very easy maintenance, especially no more often than you have to do it. Unfortunately I think your year Civic has drums in the back instead of discs. Bit more work for that and Im not familiar with it. Of course rear brakes only get like 20% of the wear of front brakes. Front Pads and turned rotors should only run you around 75$ max (for premium pads even), and a dealership might charge you $250.
Hopefully your rotors don't have screws/screws that have rusted so they won't come out. Had that happen with one of the rotors on my wife's Element the first time I tried to do the brake work on it. Fortunately I knew someone who was able to get it off cheap.

yeah it's been a few years, but there's a very subtle comparison between the city and civilized life and the rural/heath "heathen" where the supernatural takes place
