I took out my '76 and while driving I could tell there was some additional drag when I depressed the clutch pedal. I pulled over and felt the wheels, and found the driver's side rear was much warmer than the other three. So, after filling with E-free gas, I drove home and put her up on blocks.
I took the rear wheels off first, and found the driver's side rotor and caliper were essentially seized - I couldn't turn the rotor at all. Since the car is almost 40 years old, and in terrific condition otherwise, I placed an order with PMB Performance for a complete brake replacement. I started by cleaning the wheel wells that had decades of dirt. Here is what the rear looked like: Attached thumbnail(s) |

Strange, I'm getting redundant pix and not in the order I want. I will continue this thread after I find out what is going on.
Very strange; I checked the name of the pictures on 914World and they don't match the names of the same pictures on my computer. I have rebooted the computer to see if that clears up the glitch. |
