Hey guys.. so the other day I notice my e-brake light on the dash starts to flicker while I'm driving.. It would sort of flicker as I hit bumps and then go off. So today as I'm driving home it flickers on and stays on so I head over to my dealership. They took a look and said the fluid was a little low and they topped it up and my rear brakes were down to 1mm.. so I dont know if it was one or the other or a combination of both that made my e-brake light come on, but it's off now.
Anyway, they quoted me $209 for a rear brake job and recommended a brake fluid flush for $99 (or $79 if done during the brake job). How hard is changing the rear brakes (on a non-ABS ZX3) and should I just do it myself? Also, what is the general opinion of a brake flush on a 2002 ZX3 with around 46,000km?
I'm looking for opinions since I've never done a brake job before..
