Re: [a/s] 75 Aitsream Brake system follow-up



Don,
If it has the disk brakes it will have a vacume assist unit mounted on the tongue (behind the propane bottles I believe. If this unit doesn't have that, then it would be the electric brakes.  Also you can tell by getting on your belly with a flashlight and looking at the back of the wheel. If you see wires going to each wheel you already have the electric type brakes.  If a dealer wants $500 to replace the magnets, pads etc, I am in the wrong business. A "pre-loaded" brake back plate with all the stuff on it is usually $45 to $60 (if you even need new magnets, etc).  That's a lot of $ for the labor. What am I missing?
