I was told to wack it really good with a hammer off to the side for the shock value to help loosen it up. Heat comes after if that’s a failure.

Gotcha. BluNblu probably knows this. I do know that backing plates can have different depths. I’d bet, they would swap over just fine but I DON’T KNOW FOR SURE!

I don’t know for sure but I’ll say; “If the backing plate fits.” Swap everything over.

The hubs are sometimes wanted by drag racers for Willwood disc set ups. If the drums themselves are still good, as in there’s actual service life left in them, they could help someone out that has that size drum. The knuckles are worth a few bucks, the drums less. The hard part is cost of...

I’d say a bad glue job for a lack of better words allowed the steel backing shim/plate on the pad to let go. A rock or small metal shard was the most likely item that made the 1 in a million jump off the road and became stuck between the brake pad and the disc. The caliper should be easy to...

Agreed with the above. 1 of 2 things. The seal in the master cylinder could be giving way. The brake booster has a leak somewhere on and off. Check the master cylinder first. It’s the most likely.

I’ve done the same thing a few times. The entire drum assembly needs to move over. I also did an 11 inch swap on a couple of cars. Also the big disc swap as well. Gotta love them Cordoba brakes!

Hummmmm Shscribed……

Long shot here but once apon a time with myself, same scenario, the rubber brake line cracked.

What year & car is this on? Part numbers for the parts?

The smaller bore master will give you more feel of the brakes and feel of the stopping power on the road. Chances are this is what your used to anyway. The larger one will require more muscle from the leg and grab harder and quicker. This is how I understand it to be. I may also go your route...

The bigger bore master is often used or suggested for the drag racers. More pressure sooner to help with high speed slow downs. But as mentioned, your pushing more fluid which is harder to move since it doesn’t compress.

I do think your right. I have 9 inch drums all around on my Duster and IIRC, your correct.

Good place to go. I’ve been to the Oakdale shop with my son in law.

Weird../. Waiting on the final report card on the driving stopping test.

That was the color of my first Duster. Very nice looking car. Is that color medium bronze metallic?

$5 worth of copper staples? I guess you mean there were a lot of them then... :lol:

Nice! Late B body stuff right? Love that set up. Best factory offering that is an easy to do swap/step up. Wasn’t the Doc out of that for awhile?

Nice reimagining work! Now it’s time to get to work on mass production of brackets and parts and make some money!

I like prebent lines myself. I only bend them myself when I’m Stranded need to do it.

I had the same issue. To bad I wasn’t awake enough to realize that the calipers were installed upside down! Yea, bleeder screws on the bottom. Amazing huh?!?!

That’s a good weight loss. Do you drive the street a lot with those brakes? What’s your cars weight?

It’s just the way the system works. It’s weird, I know. But it just works that way and no other way while other systems work in a different way and in just there way, not the other way.

OK cool. I was t sure if this was going in a weird direction or not, glad it was not. Hey did know two by the name Felix and both were properly fitted to there name. But those you mention, sorry, that’s a negligible ghost rider... FWIW, the screen name is actually what I call my car. It never...

I believe the green axle bearings are OK with this swap, no issues. ???????? A serious question of an actual person?

Both

What was the wheel stud length you used? From whom and where? Thanks Trail Beast. Nice notation.

Shiiiiiiiiiish! Your old body is making babies in your ‘50’s! Dang you got balls! Beautiful baby you have there! Good job!

Ya ain’t lyin! I’d also be on to the next issue. This should have been done and driving by now. The bearing cleaning advice was good. I’ve only used brake cleaner to get my bearings cleaned up. Repack them in grease Immediately and install! Boom baby! Next! This is it even a days work. If you...

Besides surface rust, it looks good to go. I had some disc’s that I thought were a bit rough. I ran my hand wrapped in sand paper. The rust just disappeared really quick. Is probably nothing to worry about. Though I can only see so much on the phone. When you order the new disc’s, just tell...
