Brake recon '79 including park brake

(1/1)

mention1:
Hi all,

I've just bought a '79 Corvette and the local mechanic said all 4 callipers need to be reconditioned.

I spoke once to a member who said a lot of guys send them to Melbourne for a refresh.

Anybody got some ideas on where to go? I suppose I should replace rotors and pads at the same time.

Also the park brake is contaminated with brake fluid. I read these can be a bitch to replace as they are a small drum brake and difficult to get to. Any suggestions???

Thanks for your help.

Ron is working on my brakes now.
Just thought you would like to know that he is retiring in 2 weeks.

MY081:
Yep he says he is but hes not the type to do nothing so keep posted .
