Friday on my way to school I came very close to rearending a school bus, I was planning on replacing my brake pads this weekend but after i had the scare i left the truck at school(didnt need any trouble i had state this weekend), ive got air in my brake lines and the trucks not moving till they are bled and the pads are replaced. now i havent worked on the brakes since ive had the truck and with the truck being at school i wont have a full toolbox to work with. what tools will i need for this job?

ive already got a jack and stands in the truck and i obviously need to get pads and brake fluid.

what size wrenches/ sockets?
c clamp

this is a repost wasnt sure where to put it and i really need to fix this today, if its in the wrong spot can a moderator please delete it and point me in the right direction, thanks

 

my 2cents just bleed the breaks in the parking lot (grab a buddy) with them bled you should be able to drive it home to the tools (just take her easy) not sure what size wrench it is i just grab things. i just think that doing a swap in the parking lot would be a pain in the you know what

 

yea i just need to know what size to take so i can bleed it

 

Bleeders should be either 5/16 or 3/8.
Use a box end or socket , never an open end wrench.
Suggest a wrench so you can see while you're turning it if it starts to strip the corners off.
Use a small piece of wire to clean the hole of the bleeder out , then spray inside and out with PB Blaster. Let sit a few minutes then try to turn.

 

Are you sure you have air in the lines? Air usually doesn't just go into the lines unless you put it there, or run out of brake fluid.
