3mm is where you think about replacing them and from memory 1.5mm is the service limit if the cylinders arent leaking i would think about having another look in 6 months and maybe replace them then, mine took 4 years to get from there to being replaced |

Ok Sweet , I jsut adjusted the hand brake cables now its working sweet , i wasnt sure wether to replace the brakes or just adjust. Approx how much is it to get the brakes done in a shop inc cylinders and machining ? |

Do the cylinders yourself. Very easy job. $50 from scotts auto1 and some brake fluid. |

Hey Royce, I think this thread flew under your radar. If you think it's worthy enough perhaps it should be moved into good tech. DIY - How to replace drum brakes http://www.auszookers.com/index.php?nam ... hlight=diy Oh and if you need new brake shoes I've got a set here that I bought but definitly have no use for. |
