You complain about replacing the pads (which implies disks as drum
brakes use shoes) and then are happy that all four wheels will have disk
brakes?

Matt,
You call them shoes, and I called them pads....this topic was about
drums was it not? To me they should call them all pads. What is a shoe, a
different form of a brake pad. We really don't need smartasses in this
newsgroup.

If you want to be understood, you need to use the correct terminology.
Shoes are for drums, pads are for disks. It has been that way as long
as I can remember.
If you don't like my comments, don't bother to read them or reply.

Matt has a point. Pads are part of a disk brake system and shoes are the
equivalent in a drum brake system. When one is asking for advice, or
passing the same along, proper terminology goes a long way towards
understanding. Maybe this was one of the more obvious uses of the wrong
term, but it's not always so obvious.
