Hey guys,
This is my first time doing brakes on a car. No better time to learn than the present aye. I had a new 19mm installed, new ss brake lines installed by my mechanic. I have newly rebuilt front calipers, inner and outer front bearings, dust cap, rear bearings, front and rear rotors, ferodo pads all to be installed. I was wondering what type/brand of wheel bearing greese to use. And also what type of greese for the calipers. Where do I put the greese on the calipers and how much? I have read a few tech articles and have the haynes book. Im also looking for rebuilt rear calipers. Most of the prices I seen where like 150.00 per. my fronts where only 47.00 any1 know where to buy inexpensive rears? Car is a 75. Are there any issues with installing bearings that I should be aware of? Any tips/suggestions to make this easier is more than welcome. Thanks again. Tod |
