Greetings,
Gathering parts and knowledge to put new rotors and calipers on my 74 2.0. I’ve read a lot of threads and I think I have a pretty good grip of the process. What am I missing? Still need/don’t need? I have the PMB kit coming which is: Rebuilt OEM Calipers pre-loaded with PMB-C Ceramic Brake Pads DirectFit Brake Pad Hardware Sebro rotors front and rear PMB stainless lines bearings for all 4 wheels front seals I have: -Motiv power bleeder -ATE DOT 4 fluid -Bleeder/line caps Thinking Swepco Moly 101 for grease (how much do I need?) Do I need?: -Speedbleeders? I think yes. If still possible, should I have PMB install them so they’re good to go? If not, what’s the best source? Which part number? Are there different manufacturers? -A bearing/race tool or can I count on using the old races to drive in the new ones? Figuring an Amazon or Harbor Freight version will be good enough for me. -seal remover for the front seals? source? -new front bearing caps? (am i going to screw these up on removal?) Thank you! |

If you have never replaced wheel bearings and bearing races before, find someone who has done it to teach you the tricks. You also need a torque wrench to properly fasten the new calipers to the steering knuckle.
