Brakes problem
1998 Nissan Sentra 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

My brake pedal goes all the way down. The local garage said it needs a new rear brake cyclinder. I would like to try and do it myself. Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

Thank You

Remove the rear wheel assembly first. Then open bleeder, push pedal down and block it that way you dont have to plug the openings. Next disconnecting parking brake cable and stay if equipped. Next you just unbolt the caliper mount bolts and slide off the caliper!

Next step would be to clean and grease up the bolts.
Apply everythign back the way it was and bleed it.
