70chevy03ss Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Are you doing this yourself? I live in mass and could do the job for you if you like? I was reading the parts that you had on before not surprised that you were having problems those are the cheap-o parts. I would make sure that you dont have a bad caliper.You might also need to Bleed the calipers as well. Again let me know if you need help:cheers: Edited July 13, 2011 by Sick03ss (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1ss Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Please keep my updated Dylan, I am going AC Delco and will start collecting parts soon. I might get some tinted tails, then onto the brakes. I had the AC Delco sight I was going to post on last night, but saw you found that spot. Sick03ss, I might take you up on the brake job after collecting parts, but thats late fall. Ill talk to ya in PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70chevy03ss Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 if you have a bad caliper you will know the piston with be hard to push in. Also make sure to put the old brake pad on before you use the c clamp as to not damage the pistons. Not sure how to bleed them if you cant get the bleeders out.

Fireman31 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 anyone That is an anti corrosion coating, that should wear off the pad contact area after the first couple of stops......just make sure that there is not any oil on the rotors.....

Fireman31 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 so should i clean with brakle parts cleaner or soap and water Only if the rotors feel oily.......if not, then just install them as they are. Usually when there is an anti-corrosion coating like that, there is no need to spray them down with brake cleaner. All you need to do is install them, the first 1 or 2 stops will scrub the coating off the brake pad contact area.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
