subject: Brake repair/replacement.

It seems that almost all the vehicles need brakes at the same time, so I
have been busy lately.  Just finished doing the Durango's brakes on Friday
and never saw them so bad.  

The inner pad was worn all the way down to the metal with no pad left at
all. The rotor was missing much of it's surface due to massive rust. 
Everything was seized from rust.  Had to use a sledge hammer on just about
everything to get them apart (even removing the wheel).

I had several lugs that also were rusted and stripped.  Had to use a
special socket to dig into them and get them off.  Not fun.  

Once I cleaned everything up, greased everything, and put on the
anti-seize, hopefully it won't get that bad again.  Everything is new and
good once again.
