Replacing my own Brakes... how difficult?
I think it's time to replace the brakes. When we do our pull test the brakes engage but there appears to be a delay before they fully engage. Figured it would be a good time to have the bearing repack...

Remember..."Down and out". That means (after inserting tool into the star) you pull the handle on the brake adjusting spoon(tool) down and the brake pads move out (tightens). Works this way on both sides.
Thanks for this info. Sometimes while doing this job I always ask myself which way? Now this little "Down and Out" quote will help me to decide. Word association sure helps.
