I don't think so. I've changed mine. I need to change the parking brake cables on the brown 84. I think it can be tricky to get the brakes tight enough but not to tight. Same with the parking brake. I'd suggest checking the cables for wear etc. Don't breath the dust. Might as well check the bearings, drive shaft boot for cracks. I sprayed wd40 on the outside of the hub to fight rust. I'm not expert on any of this. >>> joe lucca <joe_lucca@HOTMAIL.COM> 6/24/2003 1:57:25 PM >>> i'm about ready to replace the rear brakes on my vanagon. are there any special tools or parts i need besides the brake pads?
