Sorry folks, but I am a novice mechanic at best, and am very meticulous when it comes to working on my Imperial, but with even the best guide on how to do the brakes, I would be reluctant to tackle the job myself. I have heard too many horror stories on this list about members wrecking their cars due to faulty brakes, and these are from people who are superior mechanics than myself. On a brake system designed so poorly that you can't even check the fluid level without two people, I find myself checking my brakes more than usual. It is the one system on the car I tend to fear the most, especially considering the weight and momentum this baby could gain when uncontrolled. Bill '59 Crown, still rolling and stopping!
