Thanks Trybe. This brake job is the biggest thing I have attempted, and while I was pretty daunted at the start, once I started taking things apart I realized it isn't much more complicated than taking apart and rebuilding a computer. The one stuck slider on the caliper is a challenge though. I have gotten it to move, but all that ever shows up is more rusty slider. I will keep trying to get it out for a while, but I am thinking that with that much rust on the slider, I will probably not be able to get it out without taking the caliper off the car. Even then I may not be able to get it out. Priced out a rebuild caliper and they run around $100 up here in Canada, so that might be the route I go. The other side looks much better than the one I am working on, so when I do it, I will make sure I grease up the caliper sliders with a good quality caliper grease. I might even make it an annual thing to check and re-grease them just to avoid this.trybe13 wrote:peter wrote:Yeah, well I have a funny feeling that after yiou've "fixed" the wife's brakes, you'll be able to afford having someone else wrench on your truck...
I have my eye on you, Riley
I'm rooting for you. I hope you don't give up like I was inclined to many times, and pay someone else to wrench on your truck.
And Peter that funny feeling you have probably has something to do with " that gang of gay vampire boys that spanked you with wet poodles!!"
