Brakes failed last night, need ideas

[Guest Melanie]

My brakes failed last night as I was going to pull out of my parking spot but got it back into the spot thank god. Now I have no idea what to do. The lug nuts are rusted on so I cant just replace the pads and rotors in the parking lot. Brian teaching me how. So I'm trying to figure out if I should tow it to a place to get the lug nuts off then tow it back here to change the parts or what. I know I always could just tow it out to Rob but since I have the parts already, not sure if its even worth his time, plus I really want to learn to do it myself. Anyone got ideas of what to do to save money or a headache?

i would say if you dont ahve the tools to get the lug nuts off then I would get it towed... and if you bads and rotors are bad your brakes should not fail unless you have no fluid to make pressure in the line..

[Guest Melanie]

So whats that mean? Something me and Brian cant fix ourselves?

You can fix it yourself, but it is going to be more than pads/rotors. You may have a ruptured brake line, or a hole elsewhere in the hydraulic system.

Yeah, complete brake failure sounds like no fluid

I dont have AAA. Now what?

 

And since I have the pads and rotors already, it would be $65 total including any more problems that are going on?
