Brakes Servicing Since 1969

• 4. Calipers must be checked to make sure the slides are not seized. The same is true for a frozen calliper (look for irregular wear on the pad), scratched or severely corroded.
• 5. Leaks at the master cylinder, or a brake pedal that slowly falls to the floor inform you of the need to replace the master cylinder.
• 6. There is a need to check the rotors and drums for tear, heat cracks, warpage . They should always be resurfaced
• 7. In many hardware components, corrosion, age have a detrimental effect. Replacing some of those pieces when the brakes are relined is a good idea. New mounting pins and bushings for floating-style callipers are suggested on disc brakes. To lubricate calliper pins and contact points, using high-temperature plastic or silicone brake grease (never ordinary chassis grease).
• 8. Brake Clips holding shoes should be removed and springs restored. When corroded or frozen, the self-adjusters should be removed. Using brake grease to lubricate self-adjusters and lift points on brake backing boards where touch is created by feet.
• 9. The last process should always be to replace old brake fluid with fresh fluid.
