Doing front pads :evil: Of course the bleeders are frozen and now rounded over. :x Going to try a good solid whack with a hammer and going to get some kind of extractor. Not sure what I'm going to do yet.
I'd say it was time...the pad on one side fell off in my hand. :twisted:
Fawkin CJs...gotta love'um. ](*,)
 
Sloved all the problems...just bought new calipers $17 each. The extrator set would have been $25. I think they were originals anyway. What the hell size are the retaining pins. Book says 7mm hex. [hard to find for some reason] But a t45 torx worked better.
So I learned alot about brakes today. I haven't done a set since high school.
There is an inboard and outboard pad. :roll: So I had to take one set off and shuffle the pads around to make them work.
Detour...the parts store in Clinton by Shaws sucks. Got home and I had 2 right hand calipers. Boxes were marked left and right. Did a little driv'in today. ](*,)
 
BTW got me one of those handy dandy hand pump vacuum deals. Do your brakes by yourself...and...not make a mess. Two thumbs up, highly recomended!
