Thread: Brake Rebuild

    Brake Rebuild

    Hello all, I am rebuilding my front calipers and hard/soft brake lines. The hard lines are original to the car...I snagged a prefabbed set of hardlines from Sierra Madre, but had a question on the setup - there is no rubber grommet or washer when these connect to the banjo bolts/soft lines/master cylinder right? It's just tighten with a flare wrench and go from there?

    Also, on the rotors - there's no bad pitting/lip/or wear on my rotors, but they have not been changed in awhile so I figured I would swap them out. However, I have having trouble getting the cap off that covers the hub. Any tips on this? Heat/Kroil? So far I've only tried prying it off with a screw driver and a big set of adjustable pliers to no avail.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    In addition to above, I’ve used a hose clamp tightened around the cap, so you have something to pry against. Rob
