This seems a bit pre-mature but it needs them none the less. I just looked on Vans site and they show brake lining kit with rivets. Does this require a special rivet device? At 30 bucks I can't surmise it would be very cheap to buy the pads with the backing already on. Questions: Is 120 hours sooner than normal for needing brake pads? What do I use to rivet on the linings? Is there a reasonable availability somewhere for complete brake pads?

I was actually just turning my tires around so they would wear on the other side, so packing bearings and such. The brakes are easy, but didn't plan that so now need to wait to get parts and tools.

Ivan Haecker" Subject: Re: RV-List: Brake Pad replacement Tim, The tool comes in two models: standard and deluxe. The ad says the deluxe model is threaded so you can assume the standard model is the hammer (impact) type. Having used both over the years, I would recommend the screw type. Well worth the extra $.If you break just one pad with the hammer type, you'll know what I mean. Not that I've ever broken one myself....... Ivan Haecker -4 1506hrs. S. Cen.
