Burned the Bra............I Love It! :rotfl

I agree Chuck. It's OK to sell the car to make ends meet especially if there is a wife and children that need to be taken care of but there really is no need for that in the post to try and sell the car. And the car may fetch at best $8K.

Nope, I sure didn't replace any of the cabling. It's a thought.

OK, so everything is back together and the new primary brake system functions very well. New rotors and Hawk Performance Brake Pads made a hell of a difference. The Parking Brake has been difficult to adjust. Followed the procedure several times. Followed proper bedding in of brakes but can't...

You mean bedding in the brake shoes and pads?

Hi John, I must have missed this procedure. Please explain.

Hib, I am installing the adjuster sprockets soon and then the rotors. I have directions on adjusting the parking brake and it seems a bit easy....hope I didn't jinx myself! Then checking for rotor runout. Should finish up this weekend.

So, I'm in the process of replacing rotors, brake pads, and rear parking brake assembly. I managed to reinstall most of the parking brake assembly last night. I replaced most of the pieces and parts such as the shoes, springs, adjuster, with Stainless Steel. My question is, other then following...

First thing I did was go to their website as well as googling for the info. No such luck. I suppose I could call but I took this route first thinking it would of been quicker and easier.

Redline Synthetic? I use Redline Synthetic 10W40. Can anyone provide the proper ZDDP amounts for this product???

Awesome work Great Job and thanks for sharing. Awesome to see another one saved!

No disrespect but I know that. At the time, I had everything already removed except for this actuating lever which is attached to the parking brake lanyard which in turn when pulled works the parking brake shoes. The actuating lever has since then been removed as it can be separated by removing...

Any way to remove the actuating lever (L-Shaped bracket) that the parking brake lanyard attaches to without removing the spindle? This actuating lever is rusted and binding. Trying to Use PB Blaster to free it up. I do have new SS new ones to replace them.

Here are a couple of links that walk you through Parking Brake Removal and Installation. Good Stuff! http://www.corvettemagazine.com/tech...e-rebuild.html Corvette Repairs-Corvette How To Series by Rowley Corvette Supply, Inc.

Finally got the parking brake shoes off. Right rear actuating lever rusted and binding. Left rear upper retractor spring broke. Time to order more parts. Is there an easy way to install the parking brake shoes. Removing them was tough. I can't imagine them being any easier going back on!

Pete, what is that that you are using to shim?

Yep, read it last night. Great read. But wish you had one for parking brake shoes....LOL. I hear you can make a shim using a can but I should check some auto stores like, NAPA or AutoZone for some shim stock??? What does the shim look like? I really have no idea....:confused

Yea, I understand that now. I'm understanding that shims can be used. Need to know where to get them. Also, my left rear retractor spring is broke for the parking brake shoes. Is there an easy way to rotate the pin for the spring retainer to remove parking brake shoes?

I am under the impression now that you use shims in order to correct rotor runout with the new rotors. Any idea where I can get them?

Quick question regarding Rotor Runout. My front right original rotor was at .009'' and my front left was at .005''. I put new rotors on with new pads but I'm wondering now that I removed the old original rotors, how do you use the dial indicator with the new rotors installed? I'm guessing you...
