My cousin`s a rural carrier here in town,drives a Jimmy with about
105,000 on it.
He carries brake shoes in the truck with him on his unbelievably large route
and can replace them he says in 40 mins.
Rural carriers have my admiration, cars going by you with inches to spare.
The first set of pads went 10 weeks on a 25 mile town route. I replaced them with a $9.95 from Autozone that lasted 10 months!
I used to do fleet maintence for 6 P-30's like the one I purchased; I could do the front pads (both sides) in under 30 minutes (usually done twice a year/30,000 miles), while the rear shoes took 1.5 hours/side (only done yearly/80,000 miles).
