Re: Rear drum specs

I guess that I might be a little anal, on brake work....I did it in the shops, & also in my home garage (no insurance there). I have just about NEVER, pulled a dust boot off a wheel cyl, without seeing a leaker! On an old truck, that has set for a few yrs, I would replace the wheel cyls, turn the drums, & replace the shoes. IMO, there is no reason to turn drums or rotors & not replace shoes or pads. as far as the hardware, if its good, use it.....just remember this. If you have to do the job 2 times, it will cost you more money Longhorn
