I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on this:
Couple questions.
1. Some of the sets have brake grease with them, this does not. Do I need brake grease, if so, what's an example of a good one, and where do you put it? Obviously not on drums and rotors...
2. I think I will have to back off the shoes to get the drum off. Is it correct that I would go in the back of the brake assembly where there is a rubber stopper, and turn the wheel whichever way loosens them?
I'm also getting these https://store-speedbleeder-com.3dcartstores.com/SB1428-9404-H9404-Speed-Bleeder_p_26.html and the bleeder bag combo which I suppose you could make easily enough but it's cheap. https://store-speedbleeder-com.3dcartstores.com/Speed-Bleeder-Bag-Hose-Combo_p_57.html
I have the special spring tools.
