Hey...I am about to pull my brakes apart due to some persistent brake fade issues (dry or wet) I've been having with my rear brakes; I want to make sure everything is ok/fix whatever's wrong with them.
Anyway, I'm going to start scouring the 'Net tonight to look for info how to work on brakes, diagrams, instructions, etc., especially for the rear drums (the front discs are more straight-forward from what I understand, and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to figure out what's going on with them a little easier).
So, if anyone out there can provide me with any links to instructions they've found particularly useful in the past, that would be awesome. Pictures and diagrams are great, too. Bill, if you feel inclined to put up a link to the appropriate section from the FSM or something, that'd be awesome too. Also, any tips or suggestions what all I should do when servicing and checking my brakes (beyond the obvious inspection and replacement if necessary of the pads...) would be great!
Thanks everyone.
/Bob
