Regarding my poor old 65, I was recently told that the old Corvette emergency brakes are best REMOVED!!! The guy who told me owns a Corvette service business, and claims that the e-brake system is the leading cause of rear bearing failure. He told me that while he was replacing my rear bearings.
I have to admit that the e-brake stuff looked real bad and real rusty, and that car has not had functional e-brakes for probably ten years, but I find it hard to believe that they are really that bad. Have you any experience like this? Is there an improved system out there? Is this guy right?
Thanks again,
Bo
