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! |

@fiacra and @914sgofast2 - In addition to posts here, I’ve read (and read and re-read) Haynes, and I’ve watched Ian’s content on this - very helpful. I know there will be some “learning moments” I think I can get it done. I do have a backstop that’s not far away in case I get into real trouble.
oh - and i DO have stainless lines coming as part of the PMB package. I have flare wrenches. I’ll get the race driver set as well. Understood on the seals. No need to pull/change since I’m replacing the rotors w/new. Good call on PMB shipping without bleeders installed. I’ve read that and also have some cores that I need to make sure are bleeder-free before I ship them off. I’ll order some speedbleeders ala carte as they get good reviews especially for those of us who are usually solo in the garage. I knew I should have had some kids…. Good tip on the cap removal @fiacra - I may order a couple just to have on hand in case i mess em up. I don’t like slowdowns for parts once i get going. I’ll get one tube of the 101 - I like your method with the ziploc but I think I’ll spring for the bearing packer, @technicalninja - I think that’ll be my best shot for getting them properly packed since I’ve never done it. Great tips on bearing test fit as well. Keep ‘em coming - I knew this would be helpful. |
