Hi guys, thanks. @ Frank: they are drums in the rear, Frank, and rotor/discs up front. The brakes work well, actually. No pulsing like you describe, Frank. Just a rubbing sound that increases with the speed of the wheels, not with RPM. And I noticed it changes a little when I steer, louder or much softer. Thanks for the description of the service procedures too. I suspect I'll need it. And thanks scivicblu83 for the test description. I'll try that today and report back.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
