Jane and I just got home from an 1100 mile excursion to Kentucky from Northern Missouri in the 67B. About 10 hours each way and we never put the top up-sunny and 90-95 degrees the whole way! We never

My experience is that disc brakes always drag a little.. If I am not mistaken, that is how they stay adjusted. Your drums should spin freely however. -- Andrew Lundgren lundgren@byu.net http://www.Lu

Add a shim to loosen the bearing up. But I suspect it's more likely to be the brake pads dragging. Unbolt the caliper and lift it off away from the rotor. Then spin the hub again. If it spins freely

Don't mess with the bearings yet. When you apply the brakes in a straight line and come to a stop the pads are still resting on the disc even when you have released the brake pedal. But when you get

Paul et. al, It most probably is the piston sticking, since the new bearings have less than 5000 miles on them. I suppose to check for a sticking piston you remove the pads and try to push the piston

Yes. The only trick is getting the pistons out of the caliper. The hydraulic seal is a square section elastomer o-ring nested in a groove in the cylinder wall. Once the piston is out, just dig the ol

Nevertheless, I replaced bearings on one car then had one side squeaking a few thousand miles later. Changed them again (after checking the brakes) and no more problems many thousands of miles later.

Do you usually need to replace the piston, or just sand it so it's clean? I guess what I'm getting at is would I normally need to order just the caliper repair kit ((180-980) or the piston and seal
