Redhawk offers a brake repair kit for those. It's a very labor intensive job compared to typical brakes. Be sure to use "friction modified gear oil" after you get the axle reassembled.

Thanks cgtech, appreciate the reply. Is there a good thread for that challenging brake job? Hopefully with video or pictures?

If so, you'll have just as good of luck with the search bar above as I would.

I'm about to do this as soon as my Redhawk brake kit arrives. My brakes still work ok but I am out of adjustment range on the cable so I am pretty sure that they are worn down far enough to be replaced. I did see a Youtube video somewhere about disassembling the rear end. You first need to remove the axles (snap rings) and the whole diff has to be removed from the cart. Looks like it's doable but not a cake walk.
Edit: Just received the brake rebuild parts. Got them from Golf Cart Garage. The kit was $209 (Redhawk for Yamaha Drive)
