Guess I need to figure out how to get the disc/drum off and change the shoes.
Anyone had the disc/drum of a PT GT? I didn't so\pend lokg looking at it but I couldn't figure it out and the haynes manual shows the brake shoe removal with the disc already off.
Just take the caliper and bracket off and the disk comes off. Be sure to note everything about the position of the caliper before you take it off of the bracket. It took me a little while to get it back together right because I didn't. Not a big deal, just look at it closely or snap some pictures.
