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,
