All,

Focus failed the NCT on a rear brake imbalance - 59% - so pretty bad imbalance. Mechanic previously had a look at it (when putting in new brake lines) and said hub/bearing and drums might need replacing due to misadventures by previous owners (taken off and damaged , leaking fluid etc).

Mileage is ~108k miles and everything else is good - anyone spec out what I would need so I can get prices ? Won't be able to get to mechanic for a while due to work etc. Also is it a DIY or does it need to be a mechanic (I regularly do my motorbike servicing). How many hours would ye expect ?

Thanks.
