    Congrats on completing the job. Did you decide to replace the resistor or not? If not do you notice any difference in noise level or braking performance?

    I also noticed that your earlier post mentioned the part would cost $150. Were there any changes to that price?

    Hi Patrick,

    Used part was $150 CAD and works perfectly. Did not replace the resistor and there is no difference in noise level.

    Wanted to add that I partly dismantled the thing and took some pictures...

    As you can see the part is not in good shape and is hard to rotate with a metal to metal noise. If someone has any info on what can cause this and what this part does feel free to add your comments! At first sight, I would say a bad seal.

    So no comments on what that specific part does and why it is in bad shape? Just curious. Take care!
