Pads for a 1980 Chevy half ton matched up.
Bill, I found one of those little packs of lube under the second set of pads. It is VersaChem brand. When I by some I'll look for the Permatex.
John thanks for the tip on the mis-match. I think I'll take Bill's advice and replace hoses too so I should be able to get a match.
I cleaned and lubed the pins on both sides and the left is still tight. I'm going to run it like that until January. I have too many events scheduled to tear it down now. It is stopping well and I don't see it damaging the rotor any further. I'll get it turned and new calipers and hoses then.
Thanks to all of you for the education on discs. I never really stopped to think about how do these things work. | | |
