One and all,
Need to do a little brake work next weekend and I thought I'd throw this
out to the general list:
1) When replacing brake pads and shoes, at what point is it necesary to
replace the rotors and drums?
2) When replacing the rotors and/or drums, go with new or or just have the
old turned?
3) Good idea to replace the wheel cylinders too, as a matter of course?
4) Heard that stainless steel break lines are the way to go. Is there a
kit available? If so, from whom, and how involved is the change over.
5) Any tips in general that the collective wisdom wants to impart?
Thanks for the help.
