Subject:      replacing rear brakes on 80 vanagon
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hello!
I'm beginning to experience alot of shuddering and squealing (sharp
whistles upon braking) when I hit the brakes on my 80 Vanagon.  I had
the whole front brake setup replaced and spent an absurd amount of money
($615).  This time, knowing what I know now, I'm gonna do them myself.
Any suggestions on how to go about determining what my problem is, and
what I should look for as far as parts goes?
Thanks,
Chris
