A friend of mine insists that I have to replace the brake shoes on my truck. He says that because it has sat for many years they have to be bad. I dont see why. They are old, but they are not bonded style so there is no glues to go bad. They do not contain a moist or oil based product in them that can dry out.
The shoe plates themselves are not rusty, the rivets are not loose or corroded. The lining material is not cracked or peeling or curling up on the edges.
I dont see any valid REASON why I have to change them. Can anyone give me a valid reason?
If you had a truck you drove for 1 mile every day for 30 years, it would only have 10-11k miles on it and I doubt anyone would just choose to change the shoes "because".
