Re: Front Brake seals between halves.

Thank you both, I knew this was not possible! I have a few good shops around here for parts so we will see where this takes us.
Now its time for that cold one!
Cheers!

Front Brake seals between halves.

I know this can't be true, if you blow the small o-ring in between the oil journal of the front brambo brake you can't replace them! I hope this is just one stupid guy I spoke to and that if I buy the right size o-rings I can rebuild these correctly. Please give me some feed back as I am be side mys...

Paint code for the red of 82 GTV6?

I want to get the code so I can get a can and do some of the touch up on areas of the body. The shops around here seem to be unable to tell me this code.

Re: Rear brakes locking

Why does it seem that you order parts from International Auto Parts and they send things that don't fit! They sent me the bleeders for the front Brambo calipers and they are too small for the bore. Does anyone know what the actual size of this bleeder is? This is a new one for me, the pad material s...

Re: Rear brakes locking

I should have put that in the text somewhere, but the hose was eliminated. I have a spare booster and master on its way, so I will just get all connection loose and await the part. I still have a lot of other things to address.

Re: Rear brakes locking

Pulled the brake booster valve and it was dirty, but after cleaning and testing vacuum (Which the vacuum was good) the brake peddle still feels hard. I went through a test procedure for the booster, 1) Engine off start engine while pressing peddle and should see 1/2 to 1 inch of peddle drop. (It did...

Re: Rear brakes locking

What is the story on the brake booster, can they be purchased somewhere? Rebuilt? I believe I have created a new problem while trying to fix the rear brake issue. The paddle went hard and I did some testing which leads me to believe the booster is bad. This car was seriously neglected!

Re: Driveshaft removal, donut replacement

Sorry about the verbage, I am looking at this as a nightmare. I was under the car for several hours working on the new exhaust and rear brake issue. I started to release the drive shaft but when it came to the front guibo I was stuck! Is there a "Best Practice" for removing the bolts? I re...

Re: Driveshaft removal, donut replacement

Do you really need to release the bell housing to do this?

Re: Rear brakes locking

Well that didn't go as expected! Not only did I not get the brakes or exhuast done, I found the flex joint on the rear of the drive shaft is bad! So I have to go through all of the connection on the shaft, and what the h**l is the center flex joint do! ($189 from IAP!) Would I be crazy to skip this ...

Re: Rear brakes locking

Going back under today and I am going to go back through the hoses and tubes. I will check the hand brake release and see if this is contributing. I have to swap out the headers and down pipes today, old ones are done! They must have been a poor style replace since they cracked at the flange and the...

Rear brakes locking

I just picked up this 1982 GTV6 Balocco and found your group as well and look forward to picking your brains as I rebuild this car. The brakes were a known problem from the day I first test drove the car. I had a hard time getting the rear wheels off since the car had been sitting for a while and th...
