Hi everyone,
I need some help. Currently in AZ and was time to get wheel bearing repacked. Trailer Sales was recommended so made an appointment. Here is what happened---one of my seals was blown out so grease into the brake on the rear--so in additional to the bearings they replaced both rear brakes (front was ok). When I went to leave tested brakes--nothing---took it back and then said since the shoes are new and the drum has some regular grooves in it will take about 100 miles of travel to get the new shoes to have full impact with the drums?????---I then ask for them to be readjusted which they did and then had minimal stopping regardless of brake setting. We tried the emergency pull and it did stop the rv. So I drove it back to the rv site (10 mi)---got minimal improvement, but the rear drum was hotter than the front drum --could hold your hand on it but it was hot.---so need some advise--the service mgr is going to call again this morning and would like some direction from this group.
thanks
