MOT said they could change pads and the like but they could not take them apart and clean out the chassis grease and put them back together.

Brakes is one thing I don't skimp on, when I rebuilt the brakes on my 5er they were in such bad shape due to PO using chassis grease on the wheel bearings which got hot and ran out of the seals and the rear axle the shoes were full of grease and the wiring for the magnets was burnt off so I replaces bearings, seals and complete brake assemblies.

I also carry a IR thermometer to check axle and tire temp, did you know tires on the sun side will be 10° to 15° hotter than the shade side?

Guess I will have to take anti-freeze with me to winterize it while they are putting tires on it if it is going to set there for about 5 weeks.
