locked brakes update



Hey guys (& gals to be politically correct)
There is a big smile on my face! :>)  After spending 4 hours waiting for the
shop to figure out the problem,  they told me to go home because there was no
way they could figure it out before they closed.  Yes,  I did go a little bit
postal and threatened to kill a few of theie children. It turns out that the
calipers were locking due to a missing bolt(?)  The shop that did the work
replaced the bolt and the rear shoes (pads?) which had cracked under all the
heat.  They also reimbursed my $80 towing bill and refunded the cost of the
rear brakes and the labor.  I'll pick up the GT tonight after I find a ride
into the valley and hopefully all goes smooth from there...  I miss my old
mechanic!

Happily ever after,
