First, thanks alot to everyone that responded to my brake question. I applied the grease, but there were no shims in there. Where can I get them. The brakes squealed before, maybe the lack of shims is my problem. Appreciate the help.

Stainless steel shims from IPS were 71 cents each when I ordered a bunch of parts two days ago. Most places have them for around a dollar each (2 per wheel needed).

They are normally about $5 for the teflon or stainless steel ones for one axle. Use brake lube on them.
