Next to the Bentley an alldatadiy.com subscription is a wonderful resource. It includes the shop labor rates for most repairs. Brake repairs can involve multiple options from just shoes to cylinders, hoses, lines, bearing lube etc. probably at this point will also need cable replacements. For the boots the "book" gives .7 hour for remove and replace each axle assembly. Add another .7 hour to replace the joints/boots on one axle. For the brakes, this is an attempt at copy and paste. The "B" refers to skill level. Where there are two numbers the lower is the "warranty" rate. Dennis
