Morning all
Took the '76 out for a test ride yesterday, after 6 painfull months of messing
with the brakes, I now dub it "cured"
List of stuff thrown at it:
8 new calipers (4 lip seal-Amazon, never again, 4 o-ring- Made in USA)
8 new rotors (4 Amazon-never again)
8 brake pads
3 master cylinders
1 booster.
New lines at the caliper ends.
One rotor was so badly bent, it caused a sound similar to a bad wheel bearing (brake pad hitting rotor, sound went away when brakes were applied)
Should have just returned the POS rotors after receiving the beat-up shipping boxes (boxes busted open, rotors exposed) from Amazon. Threw them in the
trash instead (3 month return expired)
I will never buy car parts from Amazon again.
I'll guess I had the wheels off 10 times, or more, working on it.
Bled the brakes 8 times or more
Going to give my back a rest now.
