    Will I damage anything if I remove the shoes on one of my drum brakes and drive it?

    Figured it would be a bad idea, thanks. I'll try squisher's suggestion next.

    Will I damage anything if I remove the shoes on one of my drum brakes and drive it?

    I have a service appointment Tuesday morning, but would like to be able to get to work and back on Monday without the brake dragging. I think the parking brake is stuck on, either inside the drum or just before in the cable housing. I already used the brake adjuster wheel inside the drum and...

    Are Sound Cards worth it?

    I like both so I don't have to swap cables around to switch between headphones and speakers since the physical connections are buried under my desk somewhere. Generally have music going through speakers with onboard sound and play games with headphones through the sound card.

    Are 6 pin and 6+2 pin essentially the same?

    As far as I can tell they are. I bought an Antec EA 650W PSU and a Radeon 5850 without considering their compatibility. So, now I'm wondering if they will work together, AMD says no. The PSU has a 6 pin and a 6+2 pin connector and GPU needs 2x 6 pin. Is that allowed?
