2008 Yamaha Drive Brakes Need To Be Replaced

How hard is it to change/repair brakes on 2008 Yamaha Drive? Mine need to be replaced and I hear its an all day job and very expensive?

you have to pull the rear axle, split the case and remove clutches and replace . are you sure you need this done? Have you adjusted the pedal travel to the end?
 
I just bought it , looking at it now, installed the batteries and took it for a ride , the brakes seem to work but parking brake doesn't, seems there is sound coming from axle I believe it almost sounds like a tire rub, the sound isn't constant, the brake pedal (linkage) looks corroded. I'll need to look at some pics to see how it's supposed to look. I think the old owner may have messed it up worse trying to fix it. any help/advice appreciated.

check the rear hub nuts. If they are loose you get a noise. Tighten them up and make sure the spacer on the axle behind the wheel can't spin.
