| This has obviously been discussed on here before but I cant run it down. i WAS going to replace the brakes on my 180 myself until Santa dropped my lump of coal from the sleigh and hit my head and put me out of commission. I know the job comes with uncertainties , but can somebody give me an idea OF the range of labor costs involved that i might expect |

| Need some serious block cribbing, remove the rear wheel assemblies, remove the axle tubes and then can start the Brake Job. |

Changing the brakes can be done pretty quick. All the time comes from removing and reinstalling the axle and wheel. I have done several in recent years, so I am getting better at it. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |
