Drum brakes were great in their day.
Disc are better,
But the days of hydraulic brakes will be the thing of the past soon ,
electronic brake calipers controlled by an on board computer are/will replace hydraulic!
Electronic power steering has been in cars / trucks for a few years now.
Another reason you will be forced to have work done ONLY by your dealer!

I agree. I don't like them either, but even with an inexpensive set of brake tools for the springs (and a brake drum puller) they can be done pretty easily. I like others, do one side at a time in case you forget where stuff goes. |
