When I had my cruise control switch recall done a few weeks back, my local Ford dealer gave me a "Free Courtesy Checkup". The only thing they said
I needed done was the rear brakes replaced. After all, they were the originals, and the truck had >150K miles on it! I thanked them and told them I did my own
maintenance, and I would replace the brakes myself. I had checked them at 126K miles, and they had plenty of wear left on them. Today, I decided to change
the rear brakes, and here are some photos showing the original, and new brake shoes, and I think I still had a way to go:
Front brake shoe:
Rear brake shoe:
I also took some photos on how to assemble the brake hardware, will post in another thread......
