    Well I have to say that is is nearly impossible to get that pin and clip together without pulling the axles to replace those parking brake shoes.I could not even fit a finger in the space between the hub and shield.You are a magician to be able to do that so easily. Prepare to spend at least an hour trying. I'd like to meet the genius designed that set up.

    I have a 08 Honda Civic I brought back in 2018, had 70,000 miles when I got it and now I have 122,000 miles and so far after all these years, the most expensive thing I had to do was replace the starter. Since 2018 the other minor stuff I had to do was change the battery, get new tires and of course keep up with all the oil changes. I thought about trading my Honda in for something more newer but when my mechanic told me for my year, 08 Honda, I should be way over 200,000 miles by now but since I’m not close to that and it’s still running, why trade when she’s been so reliable and be back to making car payments again? He mad a lot of sense and he’s right, I’m going to drive my Honda until she can’t go no more. She’s been good to me for the 8 years I’ve had her and I’m going to continue to keep her.

Due to low quality of adhesive Jeep uses & high humidity where I live! Voice recognition leaves a lot to be desired! Will I buy another..????
