2002 TJ. After 90K miles it fails inspection for braking difference
between
front and rear brakes. I changed out the fronts a while ago. I am
supposing that it is time now for the rears (drum brake shoes) to be
changed
out.
I priced out having my shop do it for $300. Seemed like a lot for one
axle.
It is cold here in NJ in my garage. I have not done a drum brake job for
many years, although I did the front discs (rotors and pads), following
instuctions that someone had pointed to on the net. It looks like the
shoes
run about $65 for the set and about $15 for the hardware kit (do I need
that?). If the drums need to be cut add about another what, 40-50?
So I suppose I have 2 questions. Is this terribly complicated for me to
do
as a non-expert but reasonable OK wrench guy? Is there a how-to on the
net
for me to follow and can you point me to it?
Thanks folks,
Tomes
