 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.
