3 questions,
1st.. I have a 99 that needs a brake job.. parts store says $150 for the rotors and pads, a buddy who runs a 97 front axle swears it should be more like $50 for the same. Anyone priced these recently? Am I getting ripped off?
2nd.. Having a hell of a time getting the rear drums off. the slide right off the trail rig (88') but won't budge off the 99 Is there a gear or switch to take all pressure off the drums?
3rd... D-30 front rotors come in 2 sizes (30mm and 37mm?) how can you tell which is which? and is there a difference in the calipers? I want to make sure I get this all done right the first time.
This is the first real time i have had to use new parts fooling around with this stuff. Before it was always pull off, replace axle / add locker / replace other axle.. put back on. Any advise would be appreciated. :worship:
