Park brake repair

This 2000 Tahoe I just bought has no park brake. I can't believe I was stupid enough not to step on it when I test drove it. Oh well. My mechanic says it's shot, needs new drums, rotors, pads. I didn't know it had drums as well as rotors but he said it was the design then, he didn't sound like he liked the design. Anyway, I have a neighbor that's a pretty good shade tree mechanic. If I could find some repair instructions he and I could probably do it and save me $100 labor. I've tried to find an online repair manual but no luck. Does anyone have a link to a step by step for this?

Go to your local Autozone and have them go on their new Znet system and print you out the instructions. :rock:

The closest one is about 40 miles away so I do most my business with the NAPA and Checker that are about 12 miles away. I didn't now they would do that. I'll make it a point to find their store next time I'm in the area.

Thanks.

Yeah, its a pretty good system. You can see the details/highlights on their website. They may sell some crap parts and have the worst sales help around but their computer software is top notch.
