My project for the weekend was to put some new brakes on my '97 'hoe so I don't go playing bumper cars every time I wanna stop.
Took all the wheels off and removed the drum from the back so all the pads could be checked front and rear. Found that the fronts were nearly into the metal on the pad from the FR. Also found a leaking line at the RR.
Ran out and bought some house brand pads from the local O'Reilly's for the front and a new line that needed to be bent. Bent the new line to shape and put the pads on and after a half hour of trying to bleed the brakes managed to get them to do what they needed to do. Bled them a second time this morning and everything works fine in the stoppage department. Next weekend might be the radiator, and I might try and take some pictures.
Was a fun project and I'm glad I can stop!
