1) Have you done this repair? Is it really complicated? If so, what did it take? It appears the disk set is about $100 plus my labor (I'm very handy)

2) If it's too complicated, who would you use to re-build the brakes and approx costs?

I have adjusted the brake pedal free-play as well as tightened up the brakes already, so currently, the cart is perfectly safe (even going over the Orange Blossom bridge!)

Thx.....


Where did you find adjustment procedures? I looked at mine and seen no adjustment in front under floor access or the rear? Just cable that could be shortened taking up slack or replacement from stretching?

Those wet brakes last very long time especially if you found no contamination in transaxle gear oil?
