[V8] Serious brake problem

[Gunter Lorberg]

The only items I didn't get were brackets....the rebuilt calipers came with new guide pins....I spent a great deal of time cleaning out the sleeves for the pins in the brackets....they were actually reasonably clean...no significant corrosion....old pins were actually still sliding fairly well....but I agree, sticking pins/sliders is a common cause...I've had this happen to me on another car.
I am still working on this project....waiting for parts, etc....

I would imagine that Gunter got loaded calipers...IE
calipers/brackets/pads...to replace the old ones he
had.
