Thanks for the advice, you two! It was indeed easy to do the brakes, although the fasteners were all nearly too tough for me to take off. All of them had thread locking compound on them thanks to the previous owner. I decided I needed a bigger, stronger person to do any more. Brakes now work great, though! Thanks again!
