Biohazard
Front brake assembly rebuild.
While ordering replacement brake parts, I found some of the product descriptions to be a little vague so I went conservative with my purchasing. Now that I see what certain kits do and don't include, I know exactly what else I will need to order if I want to freshen up everything. The only parts I don't have new are the long brake shoe return springs. The originals do seem to be in fine shape, just a bit dirty.
Before I begin stacking the parts on, I decided to clean and coat the backing plates. I used VHT epoxy paint, gloss black, and baked them in the BBQ grill for 20 minutes at 300F. The VHT gets good reviews for corrosion protection and resistance to chips so my plates should continue to last.
Ah...clean!
