Well, to add more things to my list of stuff to do.
I took my gmc for a ride tonight and was dismayed when I stepped on the brakes and heard the unmistakable grinding noise that I have always associated with worn brakes shoes. I have contacted John Evans in New York for new shoes, but he is out of them.
I started looking at upgrading to disk brakes in the back as the shoes appear to be getting harder to find according to John. Since the only place I have to work on my coach is in the street in front of my house, is this the type of job that could be done over a weekend? I would assume that having a location where the entire backend could be jacked up to work on both sides at the same time would be preferable, but I don't have that here.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Warnings?
