(O.k. forgive my lack of knowledge..the part he took looked like a C and the pads/shoes attach to it.) I generally trust him...but i was wondering if this seems weird to others. I mean..i don't really need them (obviously they needed to be replaced) but..should i ask for them back?? He normally gives me all the old parts but he seemed like this was a common thing. i'd appreciate any thoughts on this... >> The brakes shoes he took have to sent back to his supplier. They are cores and he will be charged if he doesnt send them back. Your old shoes will be recycled with new shoes. Michael M 87 syncro. |
