Just did my first brake job.

Went well.
Disk brakes rock.
Drum brakes make me want to shoot myself in the face.
I will be happy when I get my V8 and do not need to mess with drum brakes. It took me 10 minutes to do the disk and a good hour to do the drums with a brake wrench.

What don't you like about drums? They are harder to change?

yes. The springs were pi**ing me off. Plus I could not get the shoes to sit right.

Drums are harder than the disks because of all the springs and stuff in them. I helped a freind do his and it was a PITA!
