Aight guys, Got another question for yall. I was changing my break pads on my truck last night, not a hard job mind you, just one that I really dont want to do. Anyway this brings me to my question about the rear breaks... How in the sam hill do I change change the rear ones. It has shoes, and I have absoultely no clue how to get those suckers off. Do I need to buy any special equipment to change them, I am so confused.
Also when I got the pads off the front. On the drivers side pads, I noticed I was missing a pin that runs through the caliper.No clue how I lost this pin but I took the caliper off and it just wasn't there. I kept hearing a sound coming from that tire, and it sounded like it does when an 18 wheeler stops. Any idea where I could pick one up at. Would I need to change all four pins or is it a possibility that I would need to buy a pack of them and just go ahead and change them all at the same time. Sorry bout the length of this post, just rambling on a bit I guess. Thanks for the help you guys are AWESOME.
