Re: 80 Brakes

Thanks to all for the brake tips.  I went ahead and rebuilt the calipers
while I had them out.  I bled the brakes, but still seem to have greater
pedal travel and a slightly squishy pedal.  I will probably just take it by
my mechanic and have the entire system flushed, since the fluid looked a bit
icky.

The tool referred to was at Pep Boys, and for those who might be doing this
same job, was the one that was made for Nissans.  (girling caliper)
