(did I DO something wrong? or miss something here)
63K MILES on my explorer and it was time for brakes. It still stopped, but when you see the rear rotors and only half the pad is hitting the rotor, IT IS time to replace.
But man I had a heck of time removing the rear rotors. The parking brake was hanging up. I was prying and prying ,but I finally got it. Parking brake shoes looked good on the right side .
Left side= upon prying and prying, the shoes just came off. Opps.
I havent used the parking brake in 63k miles, So no big deal. I know you should have everything operable and if I park on a hill it would be nice to have.
How hard is the parking brake shoes to replace?
Everyone else have a hard time removing the rear rotors?
thanks
