I've got a guy that will do both for me for $100. I'm gonna buy the parts just don't wanna buy the rear setup if I don't need to.

He'll do the front for $40. I've read its simple, but I'd rather pay.

shite, I can do it myself, but I would still rather pay $40.

Just look at the rear drums and shoes,

If they are really glazed and cracked up, they are bad



or is they are really thin



They don't have wear indicators and are more complicated than discs. But they also probably only do 20% of the braking so last a lot longer.

My opinion on brakes. I change mine but have been doing so for many years.

If in doubt and especially if you have someone hopefully qualified to change them for so cheap, let them do it.

Would be tragic if you or someone in your family were to get into a wreck because of the want to save money.
