Should have it back in a couple of days. Still really surprised the former owner’s mechanics couldn’t find the problem. I didn’t understand how the brake assembly worked. Now that I know the emergency brake is a simple drum brake inside the hub of the disc it’s one of the first things I would have checked since driving and using the disc brakes didn’t effect the noise. Good honest mechanics are hard to find

$400? For what?
