The rubber diaphragm</p><p class=MsoNormal>> in the brake booster(Lockheed)was also replaced. It was torn and</p><p class=MsoNormal>> leaked. Used Lucas brand Dot 4 fluid. System is well bled. Stopping</p><p class=MsoNormal>> is very good.</p><p class=MsoNormal>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>> The calipers were rebuilt with stainless pistons and all rubber</p><p class=MsoNormal>> hoses and some steel lines were replaced. New rear wheel cylinders.</p><p class=MsoNormal>> This was done in 2002.</p><p class=MsoNormal>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>> New pads have about 7-800 miles. Break in as per instructions. Drove</p><p class=MsoNormal>> to Enclave and noticed the sticking when in stop and go traffic on a</p><p class=MsoNormal>> very hot day. Temp gauge reached 212 at times.
