I put the wife's wheeler in the shop, rear brakes were acting up . Drum brakes, took it all apart and the brake material on the shoes was in a pile on the bottom on the drum along with some tundra! What a mess. Nothings broke just needd new shoes a couple o ring seals a new metal cover where the big o ring lies..... NPS's part shop up here is closed Sunday's and Mondays...... ran the parts for cost thru "bike bandit "....I'm looking at close to 500bucks  good lord the one 10" o ring is 112 $....wow
I work harder than a ugly stripper....

Honda and their damn drum brakes, I think they still use those stupid things on the new models. I swapped the front brakes on my old Foreman to disc brakes, wish they would have made a kit for the back too. Did you check Rocky Mountain ATV, they have an awesome selection of parts and you can see if they have them in stock or not, Moto Sport is another good one too.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

The weak link in the honda chain, for sure. What a pain in the rear....axle.
I replaced the rear brakes on kawasaki teryx, which is a wet brake inside the diff. Broke a bolt on disassembly, and it was still easier than the Honda.

The old 90,s Suzuki Quadrunners were terrible on rear brakes ,ended up taking out the seals and pausing in creek crossings to clean them lucky to get a season on pads. Easier to rely on gears than brakes. If they froze on you you better rock them free, if you try to power them free could take out front differential. Then things get spendy.

Fred Meyer called. They want their milk crate back. 
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
