Well, I am several hours into replacing the pads.

I am not done yet.

First, I was able to unscrew the brackets on the side quite easily. Silly me, I thought that was a portent of things to come. I was wrong.

Once I unbolted those I thought I would try and jack up the coach without having to unbolt the bolts in the corners. Well, it didn't work so I ended up having to work on the corner bolts. Thank goodness my son came home from college as I was working on it, so he was able to help remove the rear bolts. After much struggling, we were able to loosen the bolts. This DID enable me to start getting the pads replaced in the rear.

At this point I have all the pads installed from the rear wheels back. The directions I have read say that there pads to replace by the wheel assemblies themselves. Try as I might, I have been unable to locate WHERE those pads go.

Is there anyone who can point me to the location where behind the wheels that the pads go?

Bob
