No kidding Steve, eh. Having the right gadgets to do the job takes some of the (BS knuckle scrapping, tool throwing, and cussing) out of the job though..I hate doing rear drum brakes. I would rather do 2 sets of disc brakes than one set of drums.
Way to many springs and to much dust.
:rofl: Oh man if I'd been there for that you'd never hear the end of it...:rofl:The vise-grips slipped off, and I ended up punching myself in the face. I think that was the only time I ever got a fat lip from fixing my car.
This year for GM truck brakes was not a good year. There is about a million TSB on there BS brakes for 99 Vans/truck. Good thing you have your own shop, you'd be broke getting a shop to do it.What is the big deal with doing the rear brakes. I bought my 99 Burb brand new and have replaced the rear 5 times.
Compared to disc brakes the job does require a little hand strength. You are correct it isn't that big a deal, my teenager tackled it without a lot of trouble......sometimes I just like to whine.:slap:What is the big deal with doing the rear brakes.
Just wondering, on that rear wheel disc set up.In 2000 when they went to 4 wheel disc brakes the bad brakes on Subs were gone. I have friends that have gone almost 100 thousand miles on the factory brakes with 4 wheel discs. Now Chevy has gone back to rear drums on pickups! They had a great braking system, why change?:no:
