Mr. Tire did it the first time.

I did the power brake booster, that was really easy, except for one bolt on the inside was a bitch.

My brother did the cylinder and shoes though, as I watched. It's not that hard really, just gotta remember where things go.

Now you just need to tell us that you found your PDA and it all will have been put to right.

Nice shot of me helping, I mean watching.
