Re: Drum brake replacement tips/tricks?

What about the drums? Are you turning them? New ones? Don't forget to check the other cylinder while your there. Make sure that there is no oil in the boot. Good luck.

Is the security light only for the alarm system?

Re: fuel filter

no,. no need to depressurize. I change my fuel filter once a year. (every fall) 20-30k km. If you dont know the last time it was changed CHANGE IT. Then you can start regular maitance from there.

The filter is like only 15$ and takes 15-30 min to change
