The parking brake cables sheared at the rear wheels when they (one on each side) came off, so my parking brakes are inop. I have new cables that I ordered from Applied, so now all I need is someone that can install them. Is there a shop in the DFW area that anyone can point me to that has experience with the GMC motorhome? It looks like the whole drum and hub assembly will need to come off on each of the rear wheels to do it, and with my past experience with wheel bearing failures I am not wanting someone to cut their teeth on my coach.

Thanks in advance for any help.

That's a 'D I Y' at the next work rally, and use a wood block in the interim Smile Although any competent brake mechanic with gray hair will have no problem with the job. It is time consuming.
