Brake pads for P30 Chassis
I need to get my drum brake pads for rear, and disc brake pads for front replaced. They are cracked and "overheated" as one mechanic told me. But he found problems everywhere else that he didn't want ...

O"reilly's normal stock the pads. make sure you get severe duty pads for the front. Easy listing. Go to O'Reilly.com Add new vehicle. You will be looking for P-30. There will lots of listings. Look for the Stripped Chassis.
Brake shoes for rear should be in stock.
I would suggest getting a couple of bottles of brake fluid and flush system. If they haven't been replaced replace the front rubber brake lines.
The rear drums are heavy and takes some special tools to un-screw the nuts on the hubs.
Are you going to try to have drums and rotors turned? Replacement discs are readily available but takes some efforts to separate from front hubs.
The brake calipers have a wedge and spring that needs to be driven out after the locking screw is removed. Make sure you get some brake lubricant for the wedge.

Awesome! Thanks! Is it better to choose Step-Van over Base? I'm assuming so since Step-Van's start and stop a lot and need heavier pads?
