hey all,
just anted to say thanx for the help and advice on the rear caliper issue
(they being along for the ride). i pulled the calipers, sure nuff, tokk all
kinds of hammering to get the guide pins out, and the calipers themselves we
in rough shape, i may spring for new / rebuilt ones soon. fortunately it's a
california car, so i didnt break ONE BOLT! NOT ONE! which is a godsend
having come from western massachusetts.
new pins + boots (c/o Thepartsconnection - all for the the price of the
dealers 1!) lotsa grease and new stainless braided lines c/o 2bennett.
fiddled with the rear load-sensing antilock doohavus, and the rear brakes
WORK! what a difference.
who needs bira when youve got 4 calipers?
thanx again,
jim "still leary about the OTHER little proportioning antilock doo-dad back
there, but at least i can stop" rose
