Well who said brakes were easy? Replacing the leaking rear seal - the
cause of the brake contamination - wasn't that bad. The bearing
looks fine
Question #1: Is there anything I should do the the bearing while I have
the bearing cap off? And is there any sealant that goes between the
bearing cap and the axel housing?
Then came the loosening of the adjuster assm - HA! - I mean attempt. Why
did I think the DPO had ever looked at this part since he ignored most
other maintence for years. You guessed it rusted up tight - for many,
many years I would guess.
Yep, I just ordered new adjusters.
Question #2 - What do I lube the new adjuster assemblies with to slow
down or keep them from rusting?
Also I guess since I'm replacing the flex hose and cylinders, it would be
a good time to put in new fluid. This is an occasional summer car,
street driver only with lots of work to do yet.
Question #3: What type fluid should I use? I'm leaning toward
non-synthetic unless someone has strong reasons to switch.
As usual all help will be appreciated.
