$400 Dang, that sucks. I was fortunate that 20+ years ago my then to be father-in-law sat me down and taught me how to change brakes. I knew then I needed to marry his daughter so that I could have access to his car fixing skills.

Haha so true! Ive never worked on drum brakes before and just dont have the 2imeor the tools to learn it at this moment. One of my two jobs is a delivery driver for papa johns so it needs to be in top running... Or breaking ...order. I know I could do it if I knew I was going to have a whole day free but I dont have one right now.

And I congratulate you for taking it to a professional to be done if you don't have the space or time. A safe Jeep is a good Jeep.
