Well Les Schwab just gave me a $500ish quote for front and rear brakes. Which is quite a bit more than I want to spend, so looks like I won't be making any long road trips until I figure all that out.

Easy! Brake shoes front and rear, new wheel cylinders, hardware kits, and wheel bearings and seals for the front end. Problem solved!

Everyone have a good day. Time to get going. Have to go to the VA clinic in Salem for some tests, then do some tire and wheel shopping on the way home.

Not needed. I've got tubs of grease already! And automatic parts washers, hot tank, hot coffee, beer fridge, bar-b-que, and even a pop corn machine!
