Time to check the brakes on the toys

I think it might be time for me to get all of my toys out and give each of them some maintenance, in particular the brakes. It seems to be an epidemic with my vehicles right now that the brake pads are all being worn down and in need of replacement.

The back brakes on my poor little ATV have apparently been worn out, I try to hit the brake, but it barely has any effect to slow the machine, but thankfully the hand brake for the front brakes still works great.

Then there is my little convertible, and it's mouse in the brake system that goes "squeeeaak" sometimes when I try to coax it toward that hard piece of metal. I'm not hearing the squeak often, but it is making little worn brakes squeaks from time to time when I am going slow and stopping for red lights in the city. Reading the information at this Brake Pads Replacement page and you can pretty much see that it is what my little car is up to right down the line.

I'm still annoyed that there are issues with the Cadillac's brakes after I paid around $800 to get everything about the brake system fixed. Walked out the day I picked it up and pointed out to the mechanic there was something dripping under the car, he said was just where they had spilled fluid filling it. Eh, no, turned out that it was a bad seal in the master cylinder, which I had thought they had fixed. Nope, they would replace it for me for another $260+ parts. I'll do that work myself, thank you very much. Or at the very least check a site like Repair Pal to get estimates for what it costs to repair the master cylinder properly.
