New Brake Pads and Shoes

2005 Scion XB Brake pads and shoes

Our 2005 Toyota Scion XB turned over 67,000 miles and finally needed brake pads and shoes. I jacked the box up and pulled the tires. all in all I spent $160.00 including rotor and drum turning. I am happy to say I got it all back together with not left over parts.

The pads from the front discs were no thicker that the blade of a kitchen knife. The shoes still had some life in them but I swapped them out anyway. If these are the originals they lasted over five years so I can hope the new equipment will get us through to 2020. What will the world be like then if the Lord does not come back?
