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???
