Have looked at the pads of dozens of different cars. The view is no different than these. I am at total loss as to what cars you have been exposed to that have a free view of the pads and why you can't see that the majority are just like these.

I was thinking of the rear brakes. On the higher mileage older cars, the shoes may have warn down the center portion of the drum, leaving a lip on the outer part of the drum. For the drum to come off, especially if the brakes had been adjusted, the adjusting screw mechanism should be screwed to adjust the shoes to more of a closed (inward) position, so the lip on the drum will clear the shoes. Oh, humfrz - go take a nap - you're flashing back again - |

Brakes. Buy from dealer? What else to replace?
At 50k, I'm going to replace my pads and rotors. I don't want racing crap for basic street driving. What are my options besides dealer prices? $85 for a rotor is more than I've ever paid for any car ever. Besides the pads and rotors, are there any little parts and extras I should also buy? |

This thread has reminded me I should probably pull my fronts apart and service them.

When you can hear you brakes consistently squeal, take off wheels and swing open the rotors to check pads.
Heres a tip for anyone who has yet to change their rotors on their twin. You need a certain size bolt to get the rotors off this car if it is seized up, " if your over 60k on oem rotors chances are its seized. Do yourself a favor and next time you go to the hardware store get two of these bolts. When it comes to take off your rotors you will be very thankful. |
